MEDALS AND BADGES SECTION

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.

This Police award consists of a silver medallion about the size of a silver dollar. The medallion obverse features a raised out ovaled wreath having an open winged eagle with swastika superimposed over it. The silvering throughout the piece has a frosted look to it with only minor signs of age in the surfaces. The reverse of the medal has the number, "8" raised, out and in German around the perimeter, is stated the purpose of the award, "For true service in the Police". At the top of the medallion is a ring. Attached to it is a blue ribbed ribbon. The back of the ribbon has a pin affixed. Very nice looking item here, perfect for display with a Police Bayonet.

MEDALS - 012 - 26954C - 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 Bomber’s clasp here. Excellent Plus. $495.00

MEDALS - 014 - 26920 - 1ST CLASS GOLD BOMBER CLASP IN SILVER 2ND CLASS CASE

This Bomber Clasp is in brand new condition. It is extremely beautiful, reflecting 100% of its original gilded finish. The base metal appears to 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. An outstanding, original Bomber Clasp here in about the best condition you are likely to ever find. Mint. $995.00

MEDALS - 019 - 26253 – WAR MERIT MEDALLION WITH RIBBON IN PACKET

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.

MEDALS - 084 - FULL SIZE AND MINIATURE HITLER YOUTH LEADER GOLD SPORTS BADGES

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.
