    AH Gold Party Pin Set - Let's See'em

    I picked this set up at MAX. It's a mint set of 1943 stamped AH Gold Party Pins. Would love to see additional sets.

          Craig,
          Thanks for showing your set. Since these are rarely seen, I've got a question to try and enhance my knowledge. Were the presentation pieces different from the standard award types? The reason I ask is that both my 25 and 30 MM badges have the manufacturers name stamped on the plate that holds the pin. I know these went through a couple of design series as well, but finding reference material on these is tough.

          Here's the plate for the 30 MM

              Larry, great question. I'm actually in new territory because this is the first matching set I have owned. These do match other known sets, but I don't know why the AH set is different from "regular" sets. Anyone?

                Golden Party Pin

                Hi, Craig. Sorry I didn't make it to Max this year. It's always a pleasure to meet and talk with you. I'm sure you know there is a guy in Canada who has made a series of golden party badges modeled supposedly after Hitler's badge. I had some contact with him a while ago since I have Hitler's ID card from the DAP as he wanted to try and use it with his repos. That of course didn't happen. If you're intereasted I can probably dig up his information to work backwards. Let me know.

                  Jay: Missed you also at MAX! Regarding the "Canada Badges" I am familiar with them - they are not very good reproductions, but I do hear they make very nice cases. For those that don't know it, the AH Gold Party Pins were special pins bestowed (with the same date, but with the appropriate year) every year, by Hitler, to you people he wished to honor). These are one such set, and are 100% correct and original, and conform to known patterns. I just posted them to get a discussion started on AH pins.

                    Craig, to be clear, I'm in no way questioning your set. Reference material on these is so slim that I never turn down an opportunity to try and learn more. I wish John Pepera would do a book and take some of the mystery out of these.

                      Larry: I know you weren't questioning it, I just wanted to clarify for the viewing audience that this set wasn't a problem. I too think there is a lack of information about these sets, so I hope we can have a lively discussion about them.

                        I also wish John would write a book. I think he has a lot of knowledge on all types of GPB.

                          I have only seen the incuse relief Ges Gesch on those with the military wide nickle pin attachment. I have very little knowledge of the AH types as I only have one small 25mm example with the button hold device.

                          All my other civilian pin types have the lightly stamped Ges Gesch.
                          I would love to see more research on the various types, including the Fraktur AH and the Arabic AH monograms. The AH presented party badges are always amongst my favorite rare 3rd Reich awards.

                            I don't have a set, but I have this 30 mm badge cased.
