Gents And the year on the round badge more often than not is 1942. I do see this for sale and sold by "reputable collectors/dealers" for $100 US+. I called one dealer/collector on this and got some of the most blatant "pretzel logic" I had ever been fed. I still have his e-mail saved to this day. I own a 1942 example but will not put it in with my collection or talk my way to a sale. If anyone would like a copy of said mail, just let me know. Take Care Robert

Don Sorry, my mistake. Only green and red. I must be thinking of something else or maybe that Theseare faked so heavily (with oval Hoffstatter pin attachment) that I begin to see things. There are even some European dealers of renown who sell the oval attachment plate as original! My mistake. have a nice weekend. Robert

Nick Your example appears to be a match to Alex's example. Cheers Robert -
Gents, A little quiet indeed. I thought perhaps everyone was cleaning up after the big wind. I viewed some very saddening footage on European Journal this morning. In fact, I beleive a certain brand new structure in Berlin had its' facade blow off. Here are my type I and Type II NSLB. I like the design of these badges except for the attaching pin set-up. I hope all is well over there and your lives haven't been too rattled. Take Care Robert

Alex I am a little embarassed to even show my example of this badge but here goes. The superior detail and markings would lead me to logically assume that perhaps your badge was worn by either a leader or at least a member of the NSDAP or perhaps a participant in the festivities. My zinker pales in comparison in every way. Examples such as mine are found in almost every junk box at flea markets here in the States. Other than the one you have just shown, I have never seen one of such quality. Thanks for showing and have a nice weekend. Robert PS Out of curiosity, are you able to add to your collection via veteran bring backs? Were Soviet soldiers permitted to bring home booty?

Mr. Smirnof The 1938 Party Day badge has got to be the most mint example I have ever seen before. The quality of the image is outstanding. I will dig my example out and post. You can actually see the muscle definition in the calf! Robert PS I often wonder how a badge such as this has survived for almost 70 years and remained in such pristine condition.
