Germany, NSDAP. A Golden Party Badge by Josef Fuess
(Goldenes Ehrenzeichen der NSDAP). A very well-preserved example of a NSDAP Golden Party Badge constructed of gilded tombak and multi-coloured enamels. The obverse presents with a central black mobile swastika within a bed of white enamels, with a red enameled edge inscribed “NATIONAL-SOZIALISTISCHE D.A.P.” (“NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN WORKERS’ PARTY”). The reverse presents with a catch for a horizontal pinback and NSDAP member number “8265”. The badge is maker marked on the reverse with “Jos. Fuess, München”. It measures 24.25 mm in diameter and weighs 7.9 grams. Minor scratching of the enamels is evident, but the badge is in an otherwise extremely fine condition.
