Original OUTSTANDING German NSDAP (Nazi Party) Enamel VERY Early Now More Than Ever Badge Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History

Original German NSDAP (Nazi) Party Enamel VERY Early Now More Than Ever Badge Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. The NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), was originally founded in Munich as the DAP, Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (German Worker’s Party), on January 5TH 1919. When Adolf Hitler joined the DAP in the autumn of 1919, he was to reform what was basically a debating society into an active political party. Appointed as the first chairman of the party on July 29TH 1921 Hitler was to restructure it along para-military lines in a hierarchy of four levels of government.  Early on, the NSDAP had difficulties, especially after the failed “Beer Hall Putsch” of 1923, after which the party was outlawed and their insignia banned. This however only applied to insignia with the actual name of the organization, and not to the swas (hook cross) itself, so they instead made a pin with “Nun Erst Recht” (Now More Than Ever) with a small wreath at the bottom. This example is a 22mm diameter, die struck brass alloy badge with multi-colored enamel work. The badge features a translucent red, circular outer border script, NUN ERST RECHT, encompassing a white enamel field with canted black enamel Swas (Hook Cross) with a pebbled background. In very good condition, these were originally silver plated, which on this badge is actually very well retained, now showing a tarnished patina in areas. The badge is in very good condition,  The back has a very nice functional “safety pin” style attachment, which would work on any type of clothing.  Early maker marked.  In very good but used condition. Nice used example showing the expected but mild storage age and wear (see photos) 100% Guaranteed to be authentic.  Complete museum documentation (COA) Provided. Certified by The Gettysburg Museum of History. The Gettysburg Museum of History does not support or condone Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party and is only offering this as a historic relic.
