Hi Ascot,

An interesting pin, surely made pre-1945 by the firm of Ferdinand Wagner, which created a variety of NSDAP and related badges and pins. While I don't recognize the flag colors which form the background to this pin's obverse -- light blue/white/red horizontal -- this logo does not resemble the symbols used by either of the two major fascist parties active in pre-WWII Holland: the NSNAP, or National Socialist Dutch Workers Party, founded by Ernst Herman van Rappard; or the NSB, or National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands, founded by Anton Mussert.

It's a good one, there existe two kinds of marks on the reverse (at least two productions were made), this one is obviously by Wagner. The other i won't reveal. Unfortunately yours is damaged and also has the wrong (later added) hardware. Still it's very desiarable.

The badges are extremely rare and you can almost ask for them what you want. I would estimate it towards a 1000 euro's if you find the right collector.

A small correction to Br James reply: The colors are actually very typical: orange because of it's dutch background, the dark blue cross modelled after the black NSDAP cross was the specific logo of the NSDAP Kruyt (so not Rappard!) (there were at least 4 branches of the NSNAP that each represented themselves as the biggest and only one). The colour of the background: red-white-ligt blue resemble those of the old duch Princeflag (with orange already in the border here thus represented as red). The eleven blue dots in the orangeborder area represent (from memory) the dutch provinces.

As said: extremely rare, this is only the third one ever im aware of!!!!

best regards,
