Party Membership Badge Database

[RaymondG]

Party Memberschip Badge Database



I think it is worthwhile to assemble a pictorial database of known party badge manufacturers.

To make it a worthwhile database for other members, can I ask you post according to the following guidelines


Only original period badges posted on the thread please. If you are in any doubt then you should have the badge authenticated on the forum.

In addition, to keep it neat, tidy and ordered, can you keep to images on one badge to one post and type the marker mark number in the Title part.


This way, collectors and students of the area will be able to easily search the thread and make the most use of it.
(By clicking on the post numbers behind the manufacturer names in the database, you have a direct link to the party pin in question)

I look forward to seeing a myriad of examples

Raymond

Hi

Here is an early example Ges Gesch marked piece. The manufacturer is R. Shanes of Wien.

I have only ever encountered another example of this maker on my travels around the forums.

Raymond

[RaymondG]

Here is one that has been in the wars somewhat.

The maker mark can be seen on the pin plate. Of course, it may only be the company who repaired the pin plate, so who knows

[RaymondG]

As you can see, this has had an awful conversion job into a stickpin.

I would prefer to take the glue off, but have never bothered.

Anyway, underneath all that is a a M1/103

[RaymondG]

Here is a M1/92.



Raymond

[RaymondG]

Hi

A couple of dings in this one, but I really like the quality of this badge

[RaymondG]

Hi

Another late war painted badge. Not in the same league in terms of quality as the early badges

Here are my two additions to this thread. First off an M1/27 marked badge by E. L. Müller, Pforzheim.

[Adrian Stevenson]

A late war painted bagde M1/17 by F. W. Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid

[RaymondG]

Hi

Here is a pre-RZM badge.

The big dent in it gives some insight into the construction techniques.

[RaymondG]

Hi

Here is another party badge with the Ges Gesch marking

[RaymondG]

Hi

Another late war badge.

[Jo_Rivett]

Here is one of my Rudolf Schanes badges. Early Schanes badges are Rare.

[Jo_Rivett]

After reading the post on the first Page, (list of RZM makers) it has again become clear that this list is Partially «copied» from the net, as are most.
Here is a badge to prove my point. And although with a period repair to the needle, a rare form, displaying the whole manufacturers name, as per-RZM pins usually only display the K. of the first name. Here is the name in Full.
Karl Hensler, of Pforzheim
25063

[Jo_Rivett]

A maker that is not discussed here. If any 3 Reich maker of Party pins «did his own thing» then it was Apreck & Vrage of Leipzig. You will find the weirdest of party pins made by them, back to front RZM stamps, spelling mistakes in the actual writing on the obverse, pained broze versions etc etc.. Here is a most strange catch assembly, on a Vrage badge that if it was`nt so convex, would measure 25mm. (Note the RZM mark with the circle not toutching the "M".)
25064

[Jo_Rivett]

Although this maker is listed on page one, has anyone actually seen a Pin made my them? To my knowledge, they never produced Party Pins under a RZM number. The only version of their pins i have, and have seen since the 70`s, is this one here.
25065

[Jo_Rivett]

Collecting NSDAP Pins is always good for a surprise. I have two of these, and there is no question whatsoever that they are Original. The question is... WHO produced under the RZM number M1/186.
«a quick note, this badge is not, as some would think, poorly painted, all hand painted badges looked like this, it is just porly buffed. ie:they were not perfectly painted, taking hours i guess, they were all quickly painted, and then afterwards, the excess paint was buffed/ground/polished off and then the entire front was varnished.»
25066

[Jo_Rivett]

One of the first official NSDAP badges after Hitler reorganized the NSDAP in 1925. This little beauty is close to 17mm, and the reverse is marked Ges.Gesch. The catch assembly plate is marked DRGM (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchs Muster).
Note the big chunky "A`s" and in general, the very slaggish inscript.
25067

[Jo_Rivett]

Very odd piece. 22,5 mm, heavy at almost 6 gr. Painted version on a blank planchet. (flimsy catch assembly points to pre RZM)
25828

[Jo_Rivett]

Enamel, with usual Pin, and RZM number/logo

Pre RZM Party Badge, copper planchet, 22,8 mm / 4.17 gr. with Unknown Makers logo. (possibly denoting the Letters «S» & «O» or visa versa.
(Tuckers Enamel book features a Sympathizer badge with the same Logo on page 7.)

[sodak222]

I guess this should have been posted here in stead of the other place! Anyway does anybody else have an enamel zimmermann made of brass? I see a lot of painted brass versions.
Rod

[Jo_Rivett]

Mint condition, Painted Metal. Planchet is Ferrous and fully magnetic!!
23,5 mm and 5,39 gr.

[Jo_Rivett]

Ferrous (Magnetic) example of the painted version. Note the Backwards "Z" in the RZM logo.

[Jo_Rivett]

Enamel pre RZM example with full makers name. Off center, and quite poorly made.
26837

[Jo_Rivett]

Another Rare Beauty, R.Schanes instead of the full name, and only the area code 13 instead of the full address. Pre RZM around the late 1920`s, 22,8 mm, translucent red enamel on a good quality Bronze planchet.
27346

[Jo_Rivett]

Bronze planchet, exactly 22mm and 3,84 gr. The basic writing on the obverse point to a very early badge. No makers marks, but 100% original though.

28226

[Jo_Rivett]

23 mm, Nice full Nickel silver planchet and button hole fixture. 1935-1940. (although the fact that this badge is full nickel silver probably dates to around 1935,36- as nickel was very expensive, and not used even for coins after 1938)
28227

[Jo_Rivett]

22,9 mm, full bronze planchet with rarely seen tear drop button hole fixture. (The fixture has not been replace at some time, it was made with the badge)

28232

[Jo_Rivett]

23,4 mm. Varnished Zink planchet. circa 1944-1945. (Biedermann only recieved their RZM number well into 1944, so it cant be before)

22,8 mm. Nice dark red translucent enamel. Nickel Silver plachet with bead fixture guide. Note the needle catch variant.
28234

22,9 mm, Full bronze planchet with vertical needle fixure/needle. The writing and big outer rim point to a very early badge.
28238

[Jo_Rivett]

22,8 mm. Silvercoated bronze planchet with Ges.Gesch on the planchet, and not seen that often, the full Gesezlich Geschützt on the Needle fixture plate. Good enamel and big outerrim point to an early badge.

28240

[Jo_Rivett]

[Jo_Rivett]

Silver coated bronze planchet, 20,1 mm. Great enamel, great design, just great!!
28244

[Jo_Rivett]

Strange bronze planchet, 19,1 mm with no fixture plate, the needle is just soldered directly onto the planchet. Note the untidy work, ie: enamel residue on the reverse.
28245

[Jo_Rivett]

23,5 mm, Beautiful translucent enamel and full makers name to the planchet. Needle fixture plate marked Ges.Gesch. 1925-1935. (although probably a late 1920`s piece)
28297

[Jo_Rivett]

28495

[Jo_Rivett]

28716

[Jo_Rivett]

Again, Choice. Rare liliput size, 15mm.
28717

[Jo_Rivett]

Typical Deschler front, Big bronze planchet with a difference. Instead of the usual Deschler needle groove, it has a big round pin fixture plate with Ges.Gesch double. Of note is the addition of the RZM stamp. Hard to find piece, from 1934/5.
29047

[Jo_Rivett]

Nice early RZM piece. 90% of the silver coating still remains. (if the bronze was`nt poking through on the RZM and makers number, you would think this badge was nickel)

29115

[Jo_Rivett]

Made between 1927 and 1933. The makers mark is still not known today. Sadly these Rare Austrian Hitler-movement badges are Faked a lot. Mostly with a long thin clipped needle fixture, or big round plate. The Faked makers mark will usually have a "dot" or two after the makers mark. Here is an Original, 22,5 mm, translucent enamel on a bronze planchet.
2952129522

[Jo_Rivett]

Ground dug example, with re-attached pin. 23,1 mm.
29599

29781

[Jo_Rivett]

circa 1934, Standart version, 23mm, with vertragslieferant number. Translucent enamel, bronze with silver coating in good condition. (this is in reply to a mail i recieved stating that Robert Beck never made party pins, and my Beck probes on this thread were fake.)

[Weibliche]

Hello Gents~

Here is a party badge that Chuck Alan and I received from a family friend back about 7 years ago. This pre dates the RZM codes and looks to be made of porcelain. The owners initials are scratched into the back "MS", this stands for Max Schoenhoffen (spelling?) the badge owner. We received his party pin, Hindenburg Cross and ribbon bar.

We'd like to know if any of you party badge "guru's" could tell us when this badge was manufactured?

Thanks again!
Weibliche

[Jo_Rivett]

Very rare Lilliput Party badge from the Zeugmeisterei in Austria. In great condition. Sun ray front design with 60% of the original silverwash remaining. Hard to date, but possibly from 1927-1930. (The Zeugmeisterei in Austria had nothing to do with the 1930`s setting up of Zeugmeistereis in Germany, as at that stage Germany had no power over Austria at all.) The crude Font points to a mid-late 1920`s badge.
32342

[Jo_Rivett]

Early example, with Makers name in Relief (most of the Deschler badges are in Incuse) and vertical needle groove and needle. Around the start of the Party badge era, quite possibly one of the very first NSDAP membership badges.
3234332344

[Jo_Rivett]

Rare and very interesting Sympathy badge by Rudolf Schanes. Early logo, Swastika is mis-shaped and uneven, strange catch system. [Possibly a 1923-1926 made badge for wear in Germany during the Verbotzeit? (the verbotzeit in Austria was from 1933-1938, and that is simply to late for this to be for/from that period~when we consider the other known Schanes badges]
3234532346

[Jo_Rivett]

Texbook example, by an Unknown Austrian maker. circa 1939-1940
32351

[Jo_Rivett]

Made from Monkey metal. (A dark form of Zinc with 20-30% lead added) with a soldered Pin plate. Late example from the 1940`s, but nice:001_rolleyes:
32352

[Jo_Rivett]

Official members badge in stickpin form. (Would have been used if you were a member of many organizations, and for instance attending one, and wanted to wear that ones Main big badge, and the stickpin form of the other organizations that you were a member of.)
Thanks to my friend Don Boyle for organizing this one for me.
32353

[Jo_Rivett]

What a Beautiful Period piece...the RZM logo has been changed into BZM, and when we look at the makers number we see why, double, or even tipple struck..a die error if you want..but a charmer. The obverse also shows signs of the die error, but is nicely enameled.
A badge like this, would have been classed as Fake 20 years ago, just on the basis of the RZM logo. Worthy of a bit more discussion, i will start a post on the Party Badge Discussion thread.

[Jo_Rivett]

Great early supporters badge, but very crudely made. The enamel has obviously been applied in a hurry, and too runny (too much water mixed with) and has not been polished off afterward (which was actually normal procedure for these smaller sympathy badges) by a nice one.

[Jo_Rivett]

Regular size, Ges.Gesch and makers Logo. Pre 1932.

[Wim Vangossum]

Early party pin maker marked Kremhelmer, München on the pin plate.

Compare this badge with that on post #143. The same die, but this time no Die error.

[Jo_Rivett]

Made around early 1935, still trying to get the M1/ sorted out, and used a "-" instead of the normal "/"

[Jo_Rivett]

Unique Transitional Karl Hensler, exactly the same as the Planchet on post #92. Discussed on the Party badge discussion thread.

[Jo_Rivett]

Miniature version of post #100. 17,6 mm, bronze planchet, silver washed with floating swastika.
Choice piece.

[Jo_Rivett]

Very rare transitional piece, by a rare maker of Party pins. Note the double circles around the RZM logo, which is rarely found on Transitional badges. Regular size at just over 23mm.
Note also the RZM and berechtigungsnummer are mirrored.

Exceptionally rare Liliput version. 13,2 mm, Ges.Gesch marked with a normal Pin attachment. Liliput Party Badges are usually only encountered with a stickpin attachment.

[Jo_Rivett]

Very Strange piece, Enamel on a Ferrous (Magnetic) planchet. Normal size, 23,2 mm.

[Jo_Rivett]

Similar time span (period) as the badge above, yet observe the strange Font. Big uneven lettering. The Planchet is Bronze with the silver wash nearly all in tact.

[Jo_Rivett]

Choice 20 mm example with full makers name.

[Jo_Rivett]

Same as post # 122, except this one is in very good condition. The silverwash is worn a bit on the swastika and the left side of the obverse, but apart from that, sweet as a nut :thumbup:

[Jo_Rivett]

Small, with a silverstamp. Opaque enamel. (Pictured in an early catalog for sale for 0, 25 Reichspfennig.

[Jo_Rivett]

Different markings to the one in post 155.
But also made from magnetic / Ferrous material. Also note the three "missing" balken, or minus symbols usually found between the DAL and the words.

[Jo_Rivett]

Yet another Hensler variation.

[Jo_Rivett]

Weird sized Members stickpin by Deschler. 10mm. Marked with the transitional 52. and the RZM logo. 1934 :w00t: Most likely the Last year that small NSDAP Membership stickpins were made. (I have yet to find or see one with the post January 1935 "M" code)

[Jo_Rivett]

Transitional piece, around 1934 showing the Berechtigungsscheinnummer and the RZM logo.
23,1 mm.

[Jo_Rivett]

War Time Rohling | Unfinished piece. The buttonhole attachment plate has yet to be attached.
