    DAP Badge, Advice needed

    I recently aquired this DAP or Party badge and another pin. The badge is marked Ges Gesch, but not numbered. I thought that all such badges were numbered, and so wonder if it is a reproduction. Also I am unsure of a pin badge aquired at the same time. this has a wheel shape with a swastika in the centre. Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Peter.

      Peter,

      Nice Party badge. It's an early one minus RZM markings. No problems that I can see.

          These normally are not numbered in contrary to the Golden party badges.
          They usually bear a RZM mark though.

          Value? I would say about 40 usd for party pin, 15 for DAF.

              Thanks DMV and Mark.
              Were the early ones not RZM marked ? I notice that part of the "S" has worn off. Is this because the letters were painted on?
              Thanks,
              Peter.

                Peter,
                If you take a real close look at the S you’ll see that the lacquer was not properly cleaned off after it was fired. All the metallic parts you see on these badges are all part of the base casting (as seen in the attached pic.) then it is filled with the different colored powered or liquid lacquers then fired in a kiln after that it is polished smooth .
