    Small golden party pin?

    Cleaning out some files I came across an NSDAP gold mini pin that I did not purchase. Did I make the right decision?

      Obverse looks ok as far as the pic shows but the Fuess badge should be MM on the pin plate. Anyone else have any thoughts?

        It does not need to be maker marked,IMHO. To me this looks like a good badge.
        What was its price?

          Here's a closeup. I thought that the swastika was not supposed to touch the inner circle.

            The Swaz touches only on Deschler badges. The Fuess should not be touching.

              There are a number of curious things about it.

              As mentioned, the swastika on the Fuess badge "floats" inside the white enamel and doesn't touch the border - this one touches 3 of 4 points.

              There is an odd gap between the enamel centerpiece and the laurel leaf border, as if the enamel center is too small.

              The "O" should be almost rectangular

              The hyphen should almost touch the end of the curve of the "S"

              The dots on the red field are too big and the wrong shape (should be more like "-" than ".")

              The backplate would be named to Fuess, but these often fell off and it could be a replacement.

              The wreath looks pretty good, but I don't like seeing this much verdigris. The core metal was brass.

              I've never seen a fake like it, but it has a lot of problems.
