Large American Bund Collection

[vonStubben]

It's not often that one comes across a large grouping of American Bund ( Early American Nazi Party) items.

Does anyone know much about such items. I would be interested in the rank system used and what these different rank devices are.

I know that this scan is quite poor so as we proceed I will get better pictures of items people want to see.

Regards,

WOW! This is the first time in over 50 years of collecting that I've seen
a collection of original American Bund rank insignia, pins, and an overseas cap-
didn't know such a collection was in existance....nice historical find. I personally
don't know exact ranks, colors, etc. - there's got to be referance somewhere...
I know they copied thier "Homelands systems" as best they could..... the dark red (faded) probably "High Command" , other colors maybe Orts/Kreis/Gau ?,
Black might be "Security Squad?".... guessing at this stage, of course....

This might be "the referance" to this rare insignia grouping.

Looks like it might have been assembled for "Police" or "FBI" usage, like I said...most unusual, possibly "unique" collection of Americanbund.

He had a MAX display a few years ago. Very interesting and informed.

Congrats...nice find.

Do a search....a while back (4 or 5 months ago) some absolutely outstanding American Bund material was posted here on the WAF....
