My party badges

Please check out the link previously posted. It came off the late Mike Pinkus website enamels of war. It is a valuable reference that Mike had put together.

Well, thats the real problem with those Adolf Hitler badges; did they exist yes or no? The examples with both Ges. Gesch. and an RZM mark are bogus. The one's showed here don't have the RZM mark. That's already more logical because at that crucial time, when these badges are supposed to be made, The RZM just started up, or wasn't there. IMO it is hard to PROOF if they are all fake but also hard to proof that originals were ever made. Only period catalogs and catalogues from post war producers can solve this mystery.

@ Brian: Square pin plates can be found from time to time. I have truely respect for you, but not for the link to that enamel badges; Too many errors over there ;-)

Thanks much for your kind words. As for the site, Mike Pinkus was a fellow member of this site till the time of his death just a few short months. I found out about his site from James Noble (I believe) a few years back. Thanks for the correction on the square plate Wim. Its just one I haven’t seen on the small NSDAP badge before.

As for the RZM / Ges. Gesch, I agree with you about the RZM just coming into the picture right around the time these AH badges were created. Surely as well, if you do look at the backs of these badges and also compare them to the NSDAP Membership Badge Database thread, one could see the similarities to actual enamel pieces created back then. Granted there are those who look on the badges as fake or fantasy. These do not carry the characteristics of fakes that you see about the shows or on various sites.

I will try to keep up on this via my iPhone, while I am at the oncologist's office. Oh yay what fun!!

Cheers
Brian

Although they are NSDAP badges, they are a good back of the badge reference.

""" that any badge that has the Slogan Adolf Hitler was a non official badge, and was not only Not RZM marked, but not allowed to be RZM Marked""

Well it definately does NOT say it's post war made..And mine is NOT RZM.

Both these are fakes, so don't do the mistake with these.

In this matter I thrust Jo's page which you refer to Henrik.
Still your AH 1933 badge is fake and made in England by Moriagi(Name reservation).

Will you please show us some info about this "Moriagi"

@ Brian: Yes I know what overcame the poor fellow some time ago and that he was a member here. I assume he was really a good guy but his knowledge of enamel was not of a very high level.

@ Henrik: My mate, Jo "Spitfire" Rivett from CM galleries is not the most friendly guy in the world (against some people) but when it comes to party pins and slogan badges he's one of the best of the best out there.

@ schönbeck: you are right with your statements about the Pinkus site. But the fake examples of Morigi are a huge step back compared with the supposed "fake" examples as showed here.

Will try to find a bit more info about them. IMO there most come decent proof in both ways if they are good or bad.

On wordwarmilitaria we had (have) a database with a long list of existing slogans put togheter with badges from well known collections. However, there is no "Adolf Hitler 1933".
