I've never seen this pattern for suspenders, but have seen swastika-emblazoned neckties. During the early 30s, so-called 'Nazi Kitsch' was prevalent but once the laws protecting the national symbol(s) were enacted after the party came into power, these sort of items were banned. So, it's possibly an early 30s pro NSDAP civilian set of suspenders.

Agree with you Erich. Without an RZM license marking, these should not be called "NSDAP'" ergo Party suspenders.

Did you noticed the DRGM ?

I see the DRGM marking on the leather Philippe. Of course that indicates a design license (Gebrauchts Muster) has been granted. Of course this is not the same as an RZM license number for production. I am not discounting these interesting suspenders, but as Erich has written, they were probably produced as Nazi Kitsch before the laws were changed.

yes,i understand,
a kind of civilian fantasy,nothing official from NSDAP i mean
it will be more ok to call them"nazi suspenders" and not NSDAP
is it a kind of rare object,or more common ?
sorry to drive crazy with all my questions.....

Suspenders

It is a valid point, but arguable all day long. No one considers it an official NSDAP item in any way, but the wearer could also have been a high-ranking SA or SS man and Party member. So hard to differentiate what is officially "Nazi", and what isn't, since it was often very intertwined. Is it possible an SA man wore those under his brownshirt ?- IMO, of course.

Not common to find.
