Swedish or German?

looks a bit like the early NSAP membership badge

Very intersesting...not really sure. It looks like there are no markings on the back? There were so many sypmathizer pins. What makes me wonder is the blue background. Don't forget the Finns also used the swastika and they used it lying flat as opposed to on edge. Look at the insignia used on their military aircraft.

Yes Holger you are right that the Finns used this type of swastika, I was also thinking in those tracks, but I know most of the Finnish NS badges by heart and this doesn´t feel like a Finnish one, but it was my first thought to, but when you look in the very old (1993) booklet "Swedish Political Badges 1915-1945" you can see that a badge which looks alot like the one posted, it is number 15 on color picture side, and here it is identified as NSAP early party member badge. The bad thing is that you cannot see the reverse and another thing is that this booklet has a lot of errors and some of the identifications are just pure speculation, it is not reliable to 100 %. So I am leaning more to Swedish or German.

Thanks very much for the info. I was just making an "educated" guess as I am not that familiar with the different sympathizer pins other than some of the official ones. I bow to your knowledge.

Holger actually your educated guess was a very good one, because there excists a Finnish badge from the 30´s which looks very much like this, BUT that Finnish badge is not a NS-badge it is for the "Talousseura" or something like that, cannot translate it right now, but not NS-related in any way.

I will try to double check so that this isn´t that pin/badge.

[Peppe864]

I can now confirm that this is an early Swedish one! Nice catch!

Checked my sources.
