Stickpin looks like an Eastern European fake I have seen before- especially if the pin is soldered directly to the back of the badge and does not have the small round plate. The 1933 pins are debatable, but the reverse of this one looks newly made.

The "Adolf Hitler 1933" is a common fake. Not only is the RZM trademark wrong, but it did not even exist in 1933. These in theory were for the March 1933 election, the last free election in Gerrmany until after 1949. The RZM did not come into existence until late 1934. In addition, the enameling is clearly not up to period standards and is modern, soft enamel. A dead giveaway.

I agree on the 1933. The red enamel doesn't resemble any I had ever seen. Almost looks like it was painted on. Don't care for the stick pin either. The pin doesn't even look right to me. I would pass on the both of them. For the most part, every original stick pin that I have seen, owned, even looked at had the ribbing on the pin bout half way down. There are certain cases where you won't find it. Which gives you a warning flag to look at it a lot closer, especially the back of the badge for the connecting plate, RZM / Makers Marks, etc.

Cheers
