NSDAP Membership Badge Database

[Brig]

Here's a thread we were talking about under another thread, a place to post pics of membership badges, originals, for reference. Props to Richarddwh
for the idea. If a moderator would like to tack it on top for future reference that would be great.

Please, original examples here only please, if enough concern comes up over repros maybe we can start another thread about those. I'd like to get it started with a couple examples of mine but the images I have are poor quality and my camera needs new batteries, I will post them ASAP

Does anyone have a list of the manufactorer's numbers to tack in here?

Excellent Idea. I haven't got any of these yet for this very reason, not sure what to look for

Cheers

I intend to type up things to look for in an original such as details on the front, RZM marks, etc

I'll post it when I'm done

hello guys...there are a tremendous amount of makers of these party badges and marks....at least 60 or so would be my guess with probably more....check out my site for pics of different marks...i used to have about 20 of these pins but now i think i am down to 10 or so...there are also many different variations...the pin back RZM version as shown in this thread is most common version, there is the small enamel pin version 16mm(?), the button hole version, the stick pin version,the painted version, the pre RZM version, other countries sympathizer version and probably more that i cant remember.....
