Some of these are really nice! I've never looked at them before!

Wow

That 1929 badge is a killer.

"RK" Initials beneath Figure on 1934 Reichsparteitag

The initials RK beneath the figure are the artist's (sculptor's) initials.
I believe it was Richard Klein. Can anyone verify this?

Yes John Richard Klein is the artist's who designed all 6 of the Reichsparteitag badges as well as the 2 Tag der Arbeit and 4 1-Mai badges.

Hi James,
Thanks for your prompt reply!
I'm pretty sure he also designed a number of great looking plaques.
I think I may have a few. Have to check.

Here's another 1933 Reichsparteitag.. not the best I've had, because the pin has been resoldered... will have to scan and post my favorite while at home.

George,
I'll echo the "great 1929 badge" comments! I'd also like to see the back of your 1933 badge, please.

Steve,
That's a great 1933 badge. Is the pin more like a safety pin than the usual tinnie pin, and it's on a thin flat plate that's soldered into a very shallow groove in the back of the badge? I have seen another one like that.

Mike,
So tell us... if you were in the Army and visited the Nürnberg old city numerous times, you must have been to "the Wall!"

Regards,
Greg

The back. I've often seen these with the normal tinnie pin attached in a big blob of solder, but I think this one has been reattached.

Thanks Greg;
I snapped some better pics of the pin. The pin on mine is not soldered about halfway up from the bottom. I cannot tell if this is a manufacturing error or partial damage since it was made.

George That is a great badge. If I am not mistaken that is the only party day badge that was officially recognized as a party decoration.
