What are these?????

Howdy!


I'm new to Nazi badges and medals. I have been running an ad in the local paper and bought these recently. The fellow said they were "event badges" that they sold at big rallies. I was hoping you folks could tell me what they are, and the value. The top right badge is dated 1938 and says Reichsparteitag on the front. It is hallmarked on the back W. Redo Saartautern M9/ 56. The bottom one is dated 1938 and is hallmarked on the back Jorgum & Trefz Frankfurt A.M. The top left is dated 1937 Reichsparteitag and is hallmarked G. Brehmer Markneukirghen.

Look forward to any responses. Thanks!

The fellow was correct, these are tinnies, cheaply made badges obtained against a donation to the party during these events. These are very common indeed so not worth much at all, $10/$15 or so I guess

The top two are for the Nürnberg Reichsparteitag there are seven in all dating from 1933-1939, the third one is an MAI 1 day of labor badge there are six of these in all dating from 1934-1939. Yours appear to be in good condition as the badges made in the years 1937-1939 were made from pot-metal and are usually found with lots of corrosion.

Thanks very much for the info! I don't plan on keeping them, but I'm glad I know more about them!
