Rivett, Jo
Born in Europe, raised in Cape Town, South Africa, and living back in Europe in central Switzerland with his wife since 1997. His interest for coins and the history they hold paved the way for an interest in small enameled badges from Europe during the past 100 years. Not content with what post war literature and opinion was offering - to explain not only the errors and oddities encountered- but in many cases history itself, he took it upon himself to better understand what in many cases is brushed aside by collectors or not addressed for lack of a suitable response. For the past ten years, the author has intensified his study of one specific item, The NSDAP Membership Badge, using historical research, an in-depth study of specific traits as well as forensics, to attribute the “Party Badges” its correct place in history.
