This is a very nice original German WWII Era NSDAP (NSDAP) Party Enameled Badge Pin, made before the RZM numbering system was put into place in late 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe back has the following manufacturer information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGES.

There is however no maker mark or contract number, so this was made sometime pre-1934, or possibly just as the system was being enacted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Workers Party), was originally founded in Munich as the DAP, Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (German Worker’s Party), on January 5TH 1919. When Adolf AH 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 AH was to restructure it along paramilitary lines in a hierarchy of four levels of government.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis example is a standard issue membership badge, awarded to all personnel on acceptance as an official party member.
