Wes H. is new member and posted the following in the database thread I thought I would move it down here where it belongs.
Hello all. I have a nazi membership pin that was in with some other metals and money. The money dates from '38 to '44 and is from Poland, Germany, France and Russia. My dad brought these back with him when he got out of the army in '45. The Nazi member ship badge is what I need to know about. It Has "NUN ERST RECHT" on the front but no mark of any kind on the back. The reason I listed the money is, its the only way I have of dating this stuff. I know a lot of these pins were mass produced and available to anyone that wanted to buy one. I have tried to sell this only to be told its a fake. How can I find out?

First off welcome to the forum Wes,
The badge you have there is not a NSDAP membership badge it is in fact a supporters badge, these badges were produced in reaction to the prohibition of the NSDAP after the München-Putsch. Your right anyone could by them to show support and help in financing the party.

I hope you guys can help me with this. I have emailed pictures, thanks for the offer to post them. You have already told me more than I knew of these pins, its kinda hard to find them on line. Hopefully you all can help me prove that it is authentic and a value for it. Like I said all I have to date it is the money and knowing Dad brought it back with him.
Here are the pictures Wes sent to me so I could post them for any help in assessing it's originality.
