I started offering a few metals and badges recently and
found there was quite a bit excitement surrounding them. I therefore,
have decided to begin an on-going section for this purpose. Since,
at this point, I am a beginner with this subject, I have only
purchased material from dealers and collectors that guarantee
these artifacts as original. All medals are offered with the same
guarantee as my daggers as to authenticity.

- LARGE SIZE GOLDEN PARTY BADGE
This Golden
Party Badge is the larger size. It shows some wear throughout
and has never been cleaned. The badge, of course, features the
enameled center area which is the standard Party motif. It is
a white background which presents a black mobile swastika in the
center with silver border. The field around the swastika is white.
After this, there is a red band of enamel which has the full name
of the party National Sozialistische D.A.P.. These
letters are also all in silver. As you want to see on the large
size badges, the o letter in Sozialist
is the round formation. The outer borders of the badge has a series
of overlapping oak leaves. These leaves show some mild wear and
there is also greenish patination that separates the leaves from
the enamel work in the center. The reverse of this badge is marked
ges. gesch.. In the center is a traditional safety
pin type adherage and it is affixed to a rectangular center plate
which assumedly is soldered to the metal. The plate has the name
of the maker Deschler & Sohn/München 9". Beneath
this is impressed the number of the original owner of this Golden
Party Badge, 43701". To my knowledge, this number has
not yet been researched. This is a good, original example here
that is not in mint condition, having a few minor hits to the
center of the enamel, but it is all there. This would be a great
badge to display with other NSDAP memorabilia. Who knows, maybe
the number of the original recipient might turn out to be somebody
famous!Excellent. $2,995.00
MEDALS - 013 - 26919
- 3RD CLASS BRONZE BOMBER CLASP IN 2ND CLASS SILVER CASE
This Bronze
Bomber Clasp is a fine item which is in the pot metal base, but
still has most of the original bronze finish. The finish throughout
looks to be about 80% - 85%. The medal depicts a round open circle
in the center, which has overlapping laurel leaves. There is an
immobile raised out swastika at the bottom of the circle. Superimposed
over the center is a dropping bomb pointing downward, which has
wings on its side edges as well as its tail. Running outward from
the circle are three sets of overlapping oak leaves and acorns
that go out in both directions. The reverse of the clasp has a
large coke bottle style pin running horizontally. It is connected
to a rounded style hinge and a substantial cup hook. The reverse
reveals that the bomb is rivet-held and, on one of the extended
arms, the maker mark is raised out s&s. This original
clasp comes in a Bomber case which is meant for the Silver award.
The case also has had the clasp improperly installed, as the pin
itself has been pinned through the lower section of the case rather
than sitting properly in the slot. The case is a brown leatherette
which is still in good shape. The purpose of the award is embossed
in gilt on the lid. It is embossed Frontflugspange/für
Kampfflieger/silber. The inner lid is a lined satin which
is padded. The silhouette of the award has been pressed into the
satin from long storage. The inner section of the case has an
off-white velvet-like top with sort of a gauged out appearance
where the award sits which, no doubt, was done by the original
returning Veteran. A fine original Bombers clasp here. Excellent

be a high quality brass. The medal depicts an open circle in the
center formed of overlapping laurel leaves. At the bottom of the
circle is a raised out immobile swastika. Superimposed in the
open center is a black colored bomb which is equipped with wings
at both sides, as well as on the tail. The bomb is pointing downward
toward the swastika. Running outward on both diameters of the
circle are three sets of overlapping oak leaves with acorns. The
detail throughout these oak leaves is fantastic, with each and
every vein showing clearly. A very beautiful medal here! The reverse
is in the same choice gilded condition. The medal itself on the
reverse is a muted gold color, while the long coke bottle shaped
pin is a brighter gilt finish. The medal is marked on the reverse
G.H.Osang/Dresden. This medal is identical to the
example shown in the Niemann book on Page 688. The medal comes
in an original case which appears to be the case used for the
Silver award. The case is of blue leatherette and is still in
good condition. The obverse is embossed with gold letters which
show some wear and are a bit difficult to read, but they say Frontflugspange/führer
Kampfflieger/silber. The hinge of this example is a barrel
type with a fine cup hook, the same as the book. The bomb is a
two-piece construction, as there is a rivet head shown on the
reverse. The inside lid of the case is a white satin material
and the silhouette of the medal has been impressed into the surface
from years of storage. The inner case has an off-white color velvet
material. There is a slot in the material where the award rests.

MEDALS - 059 - SA SPORTS BADGE IN SILVER
This SA Sports
badge has a very fine, silvered finish with factory applied darkening
in some of the areas to highlight the relief. The badge consists
of a Roman style sword superimposed over a swastika. This depiction
lies atop a wreath of oak leaves. The silver finish is at least
98%. The reverse has a standard pin with catch and it has a manufacturer
name on it, "W Redo". There is also raised out wording
in the center reverse, "Eigentum D. Obersten S.A. Führung"
and then some further lettering, "Saar Lautern". This
all indicates that the SA Sports award was produced by the Redo
company and was the property of the SA leadership coming from
the area of the Saar. The second class SA sports award must have
been a difficult medal to win as few of them are around. This
is a fine original.

These Gold
Sports Badges are extremely intriguing. They consist of stacked
sections which begin with a large round disc having raised oak
leaves around the perimeter. The next stage is an arrow which
points downward and runs through the entire circle extending past
the lower edge. The next stage is a round circle in which are
raised Sütterlin letters. The lettering is, "Für
Leistungen in der LH". The center of the area carrying the
lettering is open and superimposed on the center of the arrow
below, is a gild swastika. This medal is very effective looking
and the Sütterlin script is challenging figuring out what
the letters say. The reverse of the medal is also gilded and it
has a large letter "B" in the center edge area. Below
this is a raised out double RZM circle followed by the code, "M7
/ 101". Accompanying the medal is a small miniature, which
is about a quarter of the size. The miniature would have been
worn on the lapel of a suit, where as the large size medal, would
have been worn with the Hitler Youth Leader's uniform. The miniature
is identical to the large medal in all ways, and in this case, it
also has the identical RZM markings. Other than the fact that
the pin catch is missing from the reverse of the miniature, both
of these pieces are in perfect condition. A great set to show
with other Hitler Youth items. These medals, particularly the miniature,
are quite rare.Excellent Plus, Plus (20625) $995.00
