Reini Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Hello,These are my favorite badges of all. I only own three. Two are a matched pair and the single has a different style of numbering than usually seen.BestKurt
Reini Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Here is the Citation that accompanies the pair. I apologize if any of this has been posted in the wrong forum. I see there is also one for membership badges.BestKurt
Guest Rick Research Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I have never seen a badge (let alone TWO!) with document set before! 70316 was a 1 October 1927 number-- I have the GPB list for Gau Hessen Nassau and one number off was given out on that day.
Reini Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Rick,Thank for the info! I am always looking for more about the owner. Here is his Party ID.BestKurt
Reini Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Thanks guys.I'm working on adding a fourth one right now and it should be here this week. I'll post a pic or two when it arives.These are some of the nicest badges , but try finding one for a decent price!BestKurt
Reini Posted July 11, 2005 Author Posted July 11, 2005 Excellent group!Do you have the badges?BestKurt
Guest Rick Research Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Franz Xaver Schwarz hand signed the Gold Party Badge certificates?I notice from this second group two different "joining" days, which compares to that shown in the first group's NSDAP membership book and the "actual date" of the number based on Hessen-Nassau's list.I can only think the two dtes mean: signed up on/registered by the Party?
Reini Posted July 11, 2005 Author Posted July 11, 2005 Yes , F. X. Schwarz handsigned them all.I believe these were first handed out in 1933. Perhaps, Riedel received his later because of his higher number.As for the descepency in dates. Perhaps , people would get their badges out of order? It was not like today , where one could just pop in quickly. If Riedel had to travel to pick up his badges , perhaps that is why the date is later? A delay?I am only guessing. I am sure there are others who know way more than I.BestKurt
Guest WAR LORD Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I have the Red Party book and his military citations as well as his decorations and badges. He was awarded the SS Honour ring but unfortunatly this never came. He also had the candle stick.
Reini Posted July 11, 2005 Author Posted July 11, 2005 WOW! That would be something to see! However , I can understand if you want to keep them close to the vest.BestKurt
Tom Mumby Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 I have the Red Party book and his military citations as well as his decorations and badges. He was awarded the SS Honour ring but unfortunatly this never came. He also had the candle stick.←Hello War Lord,This is a beautiful set, I have seen the picture of that certain Allgemeine member before somewhere... It is a very poignant picture for to me he looks like an Englishman! Fantastic....Kurt, Love your set, it is equally beautiful. Not a collector of these sorts of badges at all but the pair are different sizes... I would assume for different usage? Is this correct?Thanks you both for sharing
Reini Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Tom,Correct! The smaller size was for civilian wear , while the larger for military personel. Apparently , the owner of my pair never wore his large badge.BestKurt
Reini Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 and the reverse...AH 30.1.39 with the buttonhook , too! I was amazed to find it.
Reini Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 and the date...I'll try for a better photo later.BestKurt
