Badge looks good. Although anything is possible RE: a case, these badges came in a rather simple cardboard box. Although I seem to remember a blue box similar to this picture I am posting, I know have seen two or three in this exact brown striped box. It's got a gauzy cotton inside. Remember though, that this award was given via many Gauleitung, so boxes may have differed from Gau to Gau.Comment

Does anybody have ultra-high resolution close-ups they could email me, of this style of Combined Gau Ehrenzeichen? It's for my book, which I hope to submit to Schiffer at the end of November. Thanks in advance.Comment

Very nice piece. As Erich said, I too have never seen a cased example of this badge before. Craig's note that the box or case may have varied according to which of the several Gaue issued this piece rings true for me, as well. The one difference I note between this example and the one in my own collection is the pin -- mine is the normally-seen double-looped wire and this one has just a single wire pin. Don't see any sign of the pin being replaced here, though...

The majority of the pins on these badges were the double loop style but I have also seen the single wire pin from time to time.Originally posted by Br. James View PostComment

I believe Detlev pictured a thin pin version as well as the more often seen double pin version in his books.
