I'd want more supporting documentation - sorry, JoeW ! - at that price.

No sweat bub! All my listings are from period documentation.

A good piece in nice condition and attributed, as well -- Peter Whamond is offering it at a good price.

Looking at the pictures some more, I find an enamel chip in the red, below "AL" of national. That's a condition issue, IMO.

der-hase-fee: How many GPB do you have?

Haven't counted, Ron, but maybe a fifth of how many John P. has.

Nice looking original.

The flat-top 3 is only a problem if they aren't rotor engraved. Look for little swirls in the numbers. All fakes I have seen with the flat-top 3 has the numbers stamped.

Was fortunate enough to wander through a crowded SOS hall in 2006 or so and ended up
standing in front of a man seated in front of a small yet sturdy Glass Case Packed to the Hilt
with Original Golden Party Badges!!!
I mean they were almost "pouring" out of this case - falling over each other to be viewed in
all their 100% -Real Deal - GPB Glory!

Whoa! There were dozens and dozens and dozens -

Fire gilded Deschlers and Fuesses shining in their Goldenes Splendour!

All at one time, in my own personal gaze....I have yet to nor probably ever will forget that
moment. - The proprietor, of course...

John Pepera

a sublime experience to be sure.

Had it been someone else it would have been hard to belive, but with John... He told Wittman he had 154(!) at the SOS. Mindboggeling.

Was that in 2006 or more recently ?

The latest in Febuary.

I think John was collecting these badges before anyone knew their significance. A sight to behold!

Okay, then he hasn't added or sold off any in a while, I believe. I have heard "154" a while ago. What a sight that must be !!!
