30mm Golden Party Badge by Deschler – M427

Revered by those who qualified for one, and envied by those who didn’t, the Golden Party Badge was one of the highest awards given out during the 3rd Reich. Only the first 100,000 NSDAP members were award this badge, and the example in this offering is a beauty! The enamel center of this GPB is in very nice condition, showing just the slightest amount of surface wear. Even the silver letters to the organizational name in the field of translucent red remains prominent, as many times we see this area worn with the brass body showing through. The fire gilded brass ring of oak leaves is just the best on this party badge, virtually void of any wear. On the reverse is the typical hold down circle on the edge, where the badge was steadied while the 5 digit number 85408 was impress into the back. The typical pin and hold down plate completes this badge, with the Deschler name and address. Without a doubt, and extremely desirable large version of a highly sought after 3rd Reich award, and one quite popular with 3rd Reich memorabilia collectors. SOLD
