opinions wanted please on thease 2 badges,the one the left has a plain field around the swas,and very little window detail to the buildings,while the one on the right has a field of dots,and more window detail.i know both are original,but were there more then one maker.all comments welcome.

For me, I like the badge with the pebbled field. Do you have a pic of the reverses ?

[Gary Symonds]

The "socialist" aspect of the Party, was to spread the work around as much as possible. Rarely, would the NSDAP give a "lock" to only one maker.

back

both badges are the solid back type,but the one on the left has a slit for the pin to sit in.

Though very similar in design, there are a number of differences between the dies, and the strike on the bronze badge is deeper than that on the silver. A look at the reverses might be helpful.
