NSDAP badges : faulty relics?

[Zeller]

Not sure what I have here. I've found these in a box of relics dug in Germany. They look ok but they seem defective. They are all marked M1/34

Notbeing center struk they would certainly be factory rejects. Interesting items.

thanks! I also never saw the miniatures with the writing Der Deutschen Mutter

[Wim Vangossum]

Thanks for showing these. Interesting stuff. Are the small one's with the text: "Der Deutsche Mutter"?.

hello Theo,

yes the 2 small ones have such text

[Patrick W]

small ones aren't miniatures but strikes for the centre motifs on the mothers cross which are multi piece construction.

[Zeller]

i didn't know that. so it's another evidence that these were factory rejects

Of course! How could I miss that

It's nice to see someone decided to keep these relics as they help in identifying at lest one maker of the mothers cross M1/34 is the RZM code for Karl Wurster, Markneukirchen. Here is a look at a finished center disc.

Hi james, thanks for posting the finished disc!
yes, I kept them because they were different from standard relic badges. I think I will keep a pair for myself and put the others on the e-stand later.
