Guest Rick Research Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Number did not belong to anyone from Gau Hessen-Nassau or to a commissioned officer in the SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Dixon Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi Rick,Thanks for taking the time to have a look for me.I hope eventually some more NSDAP records will surface so that all these Golden Party badges can be linked to a name oneday.Cheers,Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Apparently there was/is a NSDAP golden badge list kept by the NSDAP HQ-similar to Rick R's medal rolls. There is a partial alpha list in the US national archives-without numbers, but it's a start.A JOMSA article in the early 1970s had a xerox of 374 along with all the data next to it.

Gold Party Pin Guy Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 There is no complete list of the 22,000+ Gold Party badge holders. One was maintained by the NSDAP Treasurer's office (Franz X. Schwarz), but it was apparently destroyed in 1945. All lists today have been assembled from partial lists, like the SS Dienstalterslisten, Gau lists and other sources. Individual numbers can be found in the manual NSDAP membership card index of about 9 million names in the Berlin Document Center.Sorry, your number isn't in my partial list.

Ulsterman Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 In a JOMSA article in the 1970s there was a reference to a NSDAP Golden badge list. Within the article itself was a printing of the badges' original owners' information. A couple of years later a commentator mentioned that the list was held in germany, but had been made unavailable. However, the author also stated that a complete list was held BY NAME ONLY in the US archives, but numbers were not on the list. Alas, there were no references cited.

collectorbill Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 can anyone help identify the number and let me know if this pin is authentic or not? lastly what it would be worth? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich S Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Sorry, your badge is a reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectorbill Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 thank you Erich S. I have not actually purchased the pin yet but I had my suspicion it was a copy due to how many repros there are out there. Could you please tell me what are the reasons or ways to tell this one is fake so I can tell the seller? I noticed the E wasn't uniform thickness as the other letters on the front and the numbers on the back didn't line up. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich S Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Too many reasons to list on why it's a fake so if you do a search on GPBs you will see all the differences when you see an original badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Party Pin Guy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Here's a real front and back. Much smoother details, including the leaves. You can read more here:http://pages.interlog.com/~sjl/GPB/genuinelarge.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich S Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Stephen has a great site on these badges and in the future you'll be able to tell the difference between the original and fake badges after visiting his site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectorbill Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) thanks again everyone for all the info! now I'm wondering if you guys could help me identifying a stickpin from my personal collection. this one I believe is %100 authentic though probably not worth a whole lot. The reason I think this one is something is because it's numbered like the gold party pins. Wondering how much its worth? couldn't find any examples online of it. thanks Edited February 11, 2016 by collectorbill pictures didn't seem to upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostprussenmann_new Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for the info and links regarding the GPB. I normally am not interested in this topic, however, i have been looking for information on a specific GPB holder. This will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
