German NSDAP Pin
Made by Alfred Stübbe, Inh., Herbert Tegge,
Berlin-Waidmannslust
About twenty years ago, I located this NSDAP at a flea market. At the time I was collecting pins of various kinds, including the 1984 Olympics, the 1984 World's Fair (New Orleans) among others, including some military pins of various types.
My Dad on visiting me, was looking over my pin collection (which comprised a number of shadowboxes lining the walls of our hall in my home) and noticed the German NSDAP pin. He was a bit perturbed and commented to that effect.
My Dad served late in the war in the U. S. Marine Corps, but never saw any action because of his late entry into the draft.
I mentioned that the pin held absolutely no political connotations of any sort, but was merely a collectable of interest to me at the time.
I added this pin to my collection and over time proceeded to forget about it.
Over the last few years, I began this web site on World War II Stories -- In Their Own Words.
Recently, I purchased a German Officer Dress Dagger pictured in detail on another page on my web site.
I decided to check out the German NSDAP pin in my collection to see just what I actually had.
According to a web site that depicts various German artifacts, I located an almost identical pin that was marked in a similar fashion.
The back of that pin contained the following:
M1/127 which I believe is the manufacturer mark. The pin on the web site listed the manufacturer as: Alfred Stübbe, Inh., Herbert Tegge, Berlin-Waidmannslust.
I have no idea of value of this pin or really the history of this sort of pin.
I just have it in my posession and will keep it along with the German Army Dress Dagger I recently bought.
Pin front. The enamel is in excellent condition with the exception of two small areas where the enamel has been broken off. (near the letters "SC" to left of image, as well as a small area located directly under the "A." in D.A.P.
Pin front. Showing additional detail and small missing enamel areas.
Pin back. The identification code reads: M1/127 and I believe was manufactured by: Alfred Stübbe, Inh., Herbert Tegge, Berlin-Waidmannslust. The mark above the clasp is not known to me, but appears to contain the letters: RZM.
The overall condition of the pin appears to be good.
