Post your unattributed GPB numbers

[RaymondG]

Hi

There were around 22,500 GPB's issued and many of them that turn up on the market remain unnamed.

One of my research hobbies, is collecting numbers and I have various databases of numbers in the hope that I can identify something for members in the future.

So, over the course of the days, months and years, it would be great to know what exactly is out there and has not been identified.

Let's hope we can re-tie some threads and identify a few.

By all means, just post a number, but if this is to become a thread for everyone, then posting pictures would make it a great reference thread for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

If you post an image, can I ask that you enter a brief description in the title. This is so members can search and it will check the title headers. See my example below for GPB 74,295 in Post Nr#3

Important Note: The is no motive behind this other than to help collectors. If anyone contacts you identifying the number and asking for a fee in return for the name then please politely refuse and PM me about it. This is against the spirit of the forum.

It is perfectly acceptable if you get a name from a collector and then you wish to pursue further research of the individual with a paid for research service. If you ask for opinions on which researchers can help you, then members will share their experiences and names with you.

So, lets see some numbers and some images of badges.

Hi

I will start the ball rolling.

Here is a set that I have that I have not identified yet.

Looking at the condition of the badges, I would say that they used the civilian badge more than the larger, military badge!

It has been through the odd trauma in its time, that's for sure :)

That's a pretty low number. Can you make better (sharper) pictures of this one?

Now that is a really low number. It is a real shame it still remains unattributed

Otherwise a nice Fuess . Did he only find the last name of the owner? Normally you would expect at least the full name or... nothing.

[pilotpatscubamariner]

another unattributed NSDAP golden badge, small size. the number is 39633.
i have had this since the early 1980's and it is a veteran's find. when i was stationed in berlin, i tried my junior sleuthing through the endless mounds of records in the berlin document center (pre computerized days) with no luck. i tried on a whim and wrote the DDR side records center to see if they had anything. weeks later, i got a rather interesting read of a letter. basic translation was they had better things to do and "that some things should be left in the past." reading between the lines, i often wonder if something was found and the NSDAP number coressponded to some high level STASSI official! has anybody had letter responses from the DDR side that were the same?
anyway.......hopefully somebody has a name (or more) to NSDAP golden badge # 39633

[texasuberalles]

30 MM unatrributed, Military pin, #1020

A forum member has contacted me with the information that GPB # 1020 is attributed to HANS ZOBERLEIN, a poet.

If you follow the link below there is a picture of Zoberlein giving a speech in 1935 actually wearing the large - and it's no great stretch of the imagination - to be the very same pictured badge!

http://books.google.com/books?id=GnapfSKLWp0C&pg=RA1-PA96&lpg=RA1-PA96&dq=%22HANS+ZOBERLEIN%22&source=bl&ots=Cu3kir8w8q&sig=FWftHxtsIRoqqSDqOpMhUcVZCLM&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PRA1-PA97,M1

[Wim Vangossum]

If you open that link and read the text you find on the bottom of page two "869" as his party membership number? So I would assume his GPB is numbered "869". I think an old fighter who has been the right on a number below the first 1000 would not be satisfied with a number above the 1 thousand. :confused1:

Thanks for pointing out the issue!

All I can say is that I was 'informed' by a forum member of the number/owner relationship which he had to find somewhere. I see the reference you mention so I suppose that I'm in the same place as before: either is'ts Zoberlin's and there is the number discrepency to be resolved or it belongs to some else who - for the time being - is unknown. :confused:

Again, thanks for pointing out the issue!

Regards, Wim :)

869 must have been his pre-1925 Party number judging from the dates given in the book. All Party numbers were cancelled and reissued in 1925 when the NSDAP was refounded, so he would have received a new one on rejoining (Hitler moved from 555 to number 1). Zoberlein could well have rejoined as member number 1020 in 1925.

[Wim Vangossum]

Of course, You're right Stephen. I was forgotten that little period :blushing:

Any help appreciatet. Has been in my famelys procession since 5-5-1945, where Denmark was liberatet.

[Wim Vangossum]

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. Now that's really a marvelous small Deschler. Hope you will find the original owner. :thumbup1:

Regards, Wim :)

[brrn]

Hi Wim

Thank you for the kind words regarding my badge, and thank you for hoping that i would find the original owner. I have contacted Mr. Robert McDivitt, and he has found the original owner. Now I am exited to see how much information he can find on the original owner.

This badge was found i a laundry, where my mother was working during the war, and when Denmark was liberated on 5-5-1945, She took this badge, and other insignia with her home. Perhaps some off the items could have belonged to the same man?

As I can see there are insignia from Heer, Krigsmarine, luftwaffe, Hitlerjugend, and a Schuma officer shield.

I am not a professor in this German insignia, so I would very much like to get your opinion on the stuff.

I've been in touch with the owner of the other GPB and it seems that neither of us wants to sell our badge to the other to make the reunification happen. But at least we know where the other badges are. And if either of us ever does decide to sell, the badges will very likely be together again.

I can't thank you enough, Andreas. How did you find it? Do you visit the famous NARA archives? I suppose they don't floating around on the internet. Albeit you sometimes find interesting info on sites from local German cities like articles about the NS time written by students etc... but that's 1/1000 chance to find something useful. Two such names of early party members and GPB recipients are Fritz Homann (a 'famous' segelflieger) and Georg Volmer (owner of a stone mine) sadly their party numbers were not mentioned in the articles.

Herrn means Mr.

Great find. Amazing how well the enamel survived ! Unfortunately I do not have #2280 on my list.

Adam Wunderlich, but no source.

Andreas, I have Wunderlich too, but note it as a 30mm badge, Wunderlich from the city of Selb and the owner George S.

I have #2281, but a miss is as good as a mile.

Hello together,

need help with this one - number: 95149

Sorry for the bad pictures.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The original owner was Friedrich Sievers from Gokels. Apparently, he'd lost one of his badges.

Here's my 25 mm by Deschler, number 29461.

This beautiful badge belonged to Karl Kenn of Landau in the Palatinate region (Pfalz).

25 mm by Fuess, number 64377.

Original recipient was Alfred Scholz of Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein.

Here are the obverses and reverses of my two 25 mm GPBs that have just been attributed by der-hase-fee.

[Erich S]

Nice George and congrats!

[John Pepera]

Would anyone have an attribution to GPB # 98000?

Thanks,

Unfortunately not, John.

That brings me to an interesting observation: Looks like in Munich party numbers were issued in chunks of consecutive numbers; one of these starting at 98,001 ...

[Br. James]

That sounds right to me, Andreas. Thinking in reverse we understand that GPBs were ordered by the members through their Gau Hauptamt, which forwarded the orders to the Reichschatzmeister in Munich. It therefore stands to reason that at least some applications to the NSDAP were initially collected by the individual Gau Headquarters and forwarded in groups to Munich for processing and the assignment of Party numbers. Small groupings appear throughout the list of GPB Tragers: for example, numbers from 98070 through the 98080s include a run of fairly consecutively-numbered members from Gau Hessen-Nassau; the 98100s to 98450s include groups from Thüringen; and the 98550s to 98560 include fairly consecutively-numbered members from Gau Westfalen-Sud. This is just a quick sampling but I know it is consistent throughout the whole GPB list, that people were often assigned their NSDAP membership numbers in groups according to which Gau they resided in, and I don't assume that Schwarz's office held up the individual applications in order to group them according to which Gau they belonged to!

Warmest best wishes as we await the approach of Hurricane Irene,

I have 95146, 95147, 95148 ... but not 95149 on my list, unfortunately.

But I have something else !

Hi both you guys, do either you have or know the whereabouts of these two pins as I'm keen to find one to match with the document,thanks.

Gold party badge # 95149 that is!

One should be with user feuerball, no idea who got the other one. You need to be patient, and he's a tough nut, too.

[Br. James]

Sorry Jon, I've got nothing to offer here.

Best of luck,

Br. James

[der-hase-fee]

Anyone with an idea why received this small Deschler ?

To Alois Winderl, holder of BO #458.

[Br. James]

Hi Andreas,

Both the Patzwall and the Brückner BO list shows Alois Winderl as holding #548 -- could you please double-check your source?

Thanks, my friend; my dyslexia is getting worse by the hour!

Hi my friend, did you see documentation that says this?
I am still hunting for the small gPB that weitze sold a couple of years back, a WAF member nearly bought it at the time but decided not!

Yes, Jon, I did see documentation that he lost the badge.

And feuerball has been out of touch for a long time - I am getting concerned that something may have happened. :scared:
