Golden Party Badge - A.H. Dated Style with Flat Pin

This is the special award version of the Golden Party Badge which was usually presented by Hitler to on the 30th of January – the anniversary of the Nazi’s assumption of power in Germany - between 1935 and 1944. This version was officially known as the Goldene Ehrenzeichen der NSDAP, or Golden Honor Award of the NSDAP, instead of the "Golden Party Badge".

We recently found a supply of this type in the 30.5mm (large) size which is excellent quality, with the correct type wide, flat pin with proper hinge and catch. They are correctly marked "Ges.Gesch. - A.H. - 30.1.1939" in block style lettering, indicating they were made by the well-known Deschler firm of Ludenscheid. The gold wreath is finished in matte gilt plating, while the center NSDAP membership insignia is silver plated with red, white and black enameling.
