Gau Thuringen Remaked

Juncker- Da Man

Hi Matt,

The silver # 22 is right as rain and I'm not a fan of the so called gold version either.

Gee, it's dead here lately...
Anyways- I am holding out for 'with diamonds' version myself and since it didn't surface yet I would request it to be Juncker marked. Has a better ring to it than Danner. And you can't go wrong with Juncker.
Happy Easter Friends!!!

cheers

Matt

Didnthey duplicate the numbers for the bronze and silver? In other words, will you find the same number on a bronze badge as on a silver badge?

2 many 2's

Yes they did. There are few bronze and silver ones with the same numbers that surfaced.
Then there are the silver painted bronze badges which I guess would count for both grades.
And the very elusive gold one(s?) although I would think that the idea was to make the gold #22 'original' without the silver #22 coming into the picture.
But fear not- another numeral can be sanded/erased and the piece can make a comeback as 'gold' #2.
No. 2 might be known as 'the first loser' but it sure beats #22.
That is really the only option now as silver and bronze #222 are already accounted for. Or make it a bronze #22.

cheers

On the obverse, the little mark between the letters, which is missing on copies, is there ! I do spot two imperfections on the right wing, a short distance above and to the left of where the needle point is protruding. Could this be wear ?


The surface of the reverse looks very good.


No. 734 was awarded to Albert Anschütz of Gotha.

Hello all,

After reading through this thread and comparing these badges to one i recently acquired, I am lost. Could someone with more experience than I please weigh in on the authenticity of this example? I received it along with a few other things from a local veteran. I am also curious if this badge is attributable based on the number. Pictured are a few of the other things I received along with the badge. Thanks for taking a look. I am not sure how to post photos to the site directly so I made an album, here is the link: https://m.imgur.com/a/9OmO0wA

Edit: Worth noting is that the badge was covered in dirt or dust when I received it, I used compressed air to blow out as much dirt as possible. The numbers were actually completely filled in and I did not know they were present until I did some research. I used a cotton swab on the area to reveal the numbers "1235"

Hi Guys !
I can tell you that it's not okay. An original one was covered with frozen silver which didn't disappear on the back while wearing Also the bronze ones never existed because I am in possession of the only book existing worldwide from the Foundation für the Old Guard of Thüringen. This foundation didn't exist but Sauckel tried to create it only for party memers with the golden party badge or the Gau eagle in silver which needed help.

Please can you tell us the title and author of this book.

[Reinhard2]

Please can you tell us the title and author of this book.

It's title is: Versorgungsstiftung für Angehörige der Alten Garde Thüringens and it is from 1938. There is no author because it is only made for this foundation. The paragraph with the mention of the Golden Party Badge (Goldenes Parteiabzeichen) and the Gau Eagle in Silver Silberner Gauadler is the seventh paragraph. Der Hase Fee has seen some pictures.

You are a very lucky collector to have acquired such a precious resource. It appears to be a handsome volume from the image found. But I question you description of an original badge being covered with "frozen silver". The badges are marked 800 silver which certainly does not need a covering of "frozen silver". It is difficult to challenge the authenticity of Thüringen Gau Adlers that have been purchased from unquestionable sources. Does you copy of this book specifically describe the production characteristics of the badge you describe?
