nsdap badges

[Terry OToole]

if the nazi party stopped people joining the party in 1933 after a huge influx of bandwagon jumpers ----- apparently they were worried about the effect on the true old fighters badges becoming devalued --does this make the early non maker marked badges more desirable?

I wouldn't say the non marked ones so much, but those with full maker names or symbols certainly........

Don is it true the early ones would be unmarked?

Some are some are not.

Hi,

If you collect common party pins then I guess the early ones with full written manufacturer names, will be the highlights. And I specially think of the early Deschlers with the safety pin directly soldered to the reverse without using a pinplate. And I wonder if someone have ever seen a marked Jos Fuess, the man who invented the party pin.
