Help needed with identification and value of Nazi Party Pin

[Frank Smith]

Gentlemen:

I hoping that I can get some help from those who are knowledgeable on Nazi Party pins.

I bought a collection of US items from the family of a 95th Infantry Division veteran and the following pin was the in the lot. The bronze pin has black, red and while enamel. The front has a red swastika in the center. In a circular fashion in the black enamel the pin reads, "D.V.G. WESTMARK (LOTHR.)" The reverse has a pin with an open catch and is hallmarked, "W.REDO" and "SAARLAUTERN".

Could someone please tell me about the pin and give me a rough estimate of its value should I decide to sell it?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you do a search here on WAF, Frank, you should find more information about this pin and what it represented. We have seen conversation about this pin design in the past.

Cheers,
