    1929 Nuremberg Badge in Silver

    This is a badge which I have been looking to acquire for several years since seeing the David Littlejohn piece at Warlord's house. I know that they are not mega-rare but they are seldom seen for sale, although Craig Gottlieb had a nice example recently as did Helmut Weitze who had what he described as a "VIP" version.

    Unfortunately mine is minus the pin-plate.

    Comments welcome.

        I was under the impression that originals issued at the time of the event were hollow and when the badge was accepted as an "award of honor" of sorts, it was reissued in the solid back version. Are the silver issues different in this respect and what prevented someone from simply coloring the normal badge a silver color at the time? The silver versions seem to be little more than the normal badge painted silver. Is there any more information as to their purpose, who might have received a silver vs any other color?

          The originals given out at the event were hollow backed badges. No one knows for sure the reasons for the different color badges or the reason the non portables were given out. Most think the non portable awards were given to VIPs or for different events at the rally. This badge IMO is very undervalued due to it's importance.

            I've seen the non portables in both bronze and marked with the silver content. I've never seen the hollow backed badges in silver but the fact they then reissued the solid back badges in silver makes me wonder the purpose.

              I too have the bronze hollow version and at one time owned this silver hollow version which was faintly stamped with the "RZM" mark which would of course mean that it was issued around 1935.

                Nice badge again. I can not post, but this is a link to the Bronze badge as given on the Day and David Littlejohns silver form. It is silver that has then been laquered.

                    The hollow ones were also later re-issues, as Ron's badge shows by the RZM mark, putting its manufacture date in the first half of 1935.

                      I agree.

                      The Nuernberg 1929 Badge was, in fact, the FIRST EVER award of the NSDAP.

                      It predated the Coburg Badge (1932), the Blood Order etc. etc.

                      Although not officially granted award status until later, the recipients themselves treated it as a decoration from the first go and wore it proudly from 1929 onwards.

                      It is not uncommon, but it is a very underrated item.

                        The 1927 Nuremburg pin was the truly first award badge. These are extreemly rare and can be found in 835 silver. As an aside the 1933 was granted award status. However with the Order of Nov 1936, the 1927 and 1933, became traditions badges.This left the 1929 badge the truly first award of the NSDAP.
