Title NSKK lapel badge
Nationality German
Period c 1933-45
Sold

This was worn by the motorised section of the Storm Troops and is, in all probability, a pre-1935 example as it does not have any RZM stamp on the reverse. These lapel badges would have been worn in civilian clothes, the uniform of this unit being the standard brown shirt of the SA.

It appears to be made of pot metal with a silver wash. It has the original pin, which has broken away from the reverse. A touch of solder is needed to rectify this!

testimonials

[From a vendor, rather than a buyer]

I'm delighted that you are happy with the badge and I hope you can sell it to someone who will value owning it.

I tried to sell it on eBay but they won't accept Nazi items. I then contacted several dealers via a Google search who mostly offered me £40-£50 after some haggling. Most of the other dealers tried to conceal its true value in their replies and also lacked manners which doesn't inspire confidence.

Ultimately it's about trust. I should think that most prospective sellers have done their own research and therefore know roughly what their item is worth. You were the only dealer who had the integrity to concede that my valuation was approximately correct and I respect your comment that you can't offer this as you need to make a profit. Your honest approach is greatly appreciated and I felt comfortable taking the risk in sending it to you.

Thank you for a smooth transaction

The belt buckle arrived this morning. I'm delighted with it. I've been after one for years.
