My Tiny Fledgling Political Collection

[wolfeknives]

I very much appreciate the forum help I received with a recent purchase for my little political collection.
I really enjoy the political awards, but they are certainly more difficult to find than most other awards. I am hoping to add a blood order and at least one set of golden party badges this year.
I know this small collection is a joke compared to others in this forum, but it is a start, and as I mentioned above I do enjoy looking at it often.

Congratulations and very nice collection!

Don't worry about what others have as everyone started out one time and you have an excellent collection! Thanks for sharing

Welcome to the addiction.... errrr... I mean hobby! You will meet some really wonderful people in the hobby and the forums!

A joke, NO! You have a very nice nice collection with a piece missing from my collection. By the way, very nice original 1929 PRT badges. CONGRATS! Best, Erich

And I just noticed your Coburg Badge, not many Political collections with one of those! Can you please post close ups of it?

[wolfeknives]

Thank you for your kind words Erich. I believe the Coburg badge has been shown on the forum before. Unfortunately I am in Germany right now, so have no access to my collection. I do have a couple of photos I received from the seller. I also included a close up of the above photo.

This is the 2nd model. I am hopeful that some time in the future I will be lucky enough t find the first model version.

Wolf, I know that badge very well. Nice!

No joke here in my book. Wolfgang! You have a fine political collection and I wish you well as you expand upon it in the future.

Jon, Jon, Jon....... you know how to hurt a guy. Are there any you have not snapped up? I have drooledmany times over the examples you have posted, especially the amazing groups.
I do appreciate all the kind comments.
I think political awards are much under appreciated, given their significance. There is still much to be discovered about the actual history and purpose of a number of the political awards. (Braunschweig 1st model, a number of the Gau badges) This certainly keeps it interesting.

I started this post earlier this year, and set myself a goal to add a blood order and gold party pin set. It is now near the end of the year, and I am thrilled to have accomplished my modest goal. Thanks to a fellow forum member I was able to purchase the items in Canada.
It is still a tiny collection, but there is always next year.
