Description

WWII German Third Reich Badge: Overview

Six pieces covering several areas of German insignia: a uniform cap badge, enamelled veterans’ membership awards and a pressed event badge. Together they show different forms of German insignia of 1930s and war-period types.

What the Lot Contains

  • Visor-cap wreath and cockade: large, silver-coloured, with extended wings, oak leaves and the national cockade, the form used for Luftwaffe peaked-cap insignia.
  • Two veterans’ badges marked 25 and 40: enamelled in red, black and white with metallic detail, of the type associated with German veterans’ associations and the Kyffhäuser tradition, indicating years of membership.
  • 1934 badge: large circular bronze-coloured badge with a male head, industrial imagery and the eagle, in the Tag der Arbeit (National Labour Day) tradition.
  • Eagle badge (silver-coloured) and a small circular insignia, both with mounting elements.

Authenticity

The lot is sold as a group of collector’s insignia.

A more detailed opinion on any individual piece is available on request.
