New Fuess GPB

[Christopher G.]

Hello,

I just got this new golden party badge today and wanted to show it. It looks like a really low number 13877...I was hoping it was on a list of known recipients.

It also looks like the pin on the back may have come off at some point and was re-installed upside down?

Either way I am happy to have it because I have always wanted a Fuess GPB!

Thank you in advance!
Chris G.

A nice original.

Hi Chris,

I agree: A very nice original Fuess-marked piece -- congrats! And it does look like the pin plate has been remounted at some point...nothing unusual in that! Sorry to say that NSDAP Membership Number 13877 is not ID'd on my list at this time, but there are professional researchers who may well be able to assist you as to this badge's original holder.

A fine Fuess.

Very nice Fuess GPB! I think they did a better job of reinstalling your pin upside down than they did on mine!

Best,
Greg

A nice GPB, Greg, though the pin plate was sloppily reattached!

If you need to know who held this NSDAP number, let me know.

He's lucky he found a Gau Westfphalia pin.

Thanks Br. James, my friend, I have the ID - the recipient was Josef Niemeyer, the Revisor of Gau Westfalen-Süd.

Best,
Greg

My pleasure, Greg...though I'm not familiar with the term "Revisor," as in "the Revisor of Gau Westfalen-Süd." Would you please illuminate me?

Many thanks, my friend,

Hello All,

I had the research done on this badge and it was issued to Hans Harbauer, the mayor of Weiden in Bavaria.
