ENAMEL".This book contains over 100 large beautiful photographs of party badges some superimposed over period photos of the pins in wear.This book will be invaluable to collectors of these pins,when you come across an example that just not fit the accepted criteria of what an authentic badge is supposed to look like,there are many differences from manufactor to manufactor.I let go an example of a duplicate m1/8 a few months ago,NO hyphen between the L and S I knew it was authentic but just something about it bothered me.There it is in the book on page 23 and will cost me more than the price of the book to get it back.If you like party badges or enamel pins I really think you will love this book.All of the photos are large and in color.

Hmm "Mike Tucker" googles to a baseball player, could you post his web addy please? Thanks

[burgerhaus]

Yes, Mike Tucker. Good bench player. Spent most of last year with Giants before going to the Phillies for their failed post-season push. But seriously, maybe someone could give it a nice objective review. Our hobby needs a reference like this. Am waiting for web-site. Take Care. PS I think Mike Tucker is still an unsigned free-agent. HA HA only fooling around. Forgive me. Robert

Yes I'm looking forward to it as well, lets also hope that there are less controversial pieces in it than with the combat book.

Cheers

This should get you to Mike's website but I just looked and the NSDAP enamel book hasn't been listed there yet. http://www.authenticmilitaria.com

This is the link to his site: http://www.authenticmilitaria.com/ if that is what you mean.
I also look forward to get his book!

deleted because of double posting

[Rik]

He James what a perfect timing, both 09:27. I had the same problem (I changed this post), maybe because we both made a post at the sime time in this thread

[Jon Fish]

Anyone know,does it cover the Golden party badge also ?

[ErichS]

Jon, I'm told it does not.

[James Noble]

The book covers some of the early supporter badges but mostly it concentrates on pre and post RZM controlled mainstream NSDAP membership badges. With excellent large clear color pictures.

My website at www.authenticmilitaria.com is in the process of re-construction. However, the Home page is working and contains a small blurb about "N.S.D.A.P. Enamel" and how to obtain it. I hope to have sample images of the book available in the "Book" section of my website. Price is $40.00 plus $3.00 postage. The book is complete color with over 150 obverse and reverse images. Thanks!

I'm going to have to get a copy. I just bought a huge collection from my friend and in there are nine party badges. They make a nice display in a walnut box with black velvet as a backing
