Description

Supporter Pin 1926-32: Private purchase, could be worn by party members or supporters. A scarce Abzeichen der Burdezeit (Badge of the Burden Times), first made and worn when the NSDAP was banned in November 1923 after the failed Putsch as a way to display support to the party without breaking the law because the badge did not display the party name. The swastika, not yet recognised as an official Nazi symbol, was allowed on the badge. The Weimar government issued another decree in late January 1924 that banned these badges. The ban was lifted in February of 1926. This supporter pin was made as late as 1932. Anyone could buy and wear one. Silver plated and enameled tombac, 50 mm plated knurled brass pin, no maker, excellent enamel, overall light wear.
