Just got offered this badge and I am not sure about the swastika: to me it looks too large...should it be touching the inner ring that prominently? Also, no markings at all on the reverse side??...what do you think? Cheers, Torsten.

The front of your badge is a classic NSDAP membership design from what can be seen in this picture to bad the flash obscured the L-S, and in answer to your question about the size of the swastika and if it should be touching the inner circle the answer is it's the right size and yes it should touch although prior to 1935 you will find quite a few that don't. The lack of markings on the reverse tells me that it was made before 1935 anything made after 1934 was marked with the RZM logo and M1/##. Remember this just my opinion. -
thank you very much for your opinion. I know that the swastika should be touching the inner ring, its just that in this case it appears to be touching it a little too much...its almost like the gold outer rim of the swastika is merged quite a bit with the inner ring and all others that I have got and that I have seen this merging is not as pronounced...I thought?? 
but maybe I am getting a little too paranoid and I am reading too much into this... 
Thanks again. Cheers, Torsten.
