Reichsnahrstand Day badge, Hamburg - German
This commemorates the opening of the second exhibition of the Farmers Union on 25 May 1935 in Hamburg. Rechsnahrstand badges/insignia/medals are quite scarce compared to those of other NSDAP organisations. 'Blut und Boden' was their motto. It is a die-struck badge with an 'old silver' finish.

NSDAP cap badge, last pattern leader's version - German
This badge would have been worn on all NSDAP leaders caps, replacing the smaller eagle of the early war years. These caps usually had light brown cotton tops with a brown velvet band and a light brown vulcanite peak. In modified form, a similar cap was worn by AH himself, with a similar eagle!

NSDAP (party) cap eagle, 2nd model - German
These were introduced around about 1936 and may well have been made right up until the closing stages of the war. Typically seen on SA sports kepis and occasionally on the peaked service cap, it was replaced by a later model with a longer wing span somewhere in the early 1940s.

NSDAP leader's visor cap cockade (2nd model) - German
This replaced the simple black/white/red type, essentially just adding the oak leaf wreath to the round cockade. This was worn by all party leaders fom Ortsleiter right up to the top, Reichsleiter. This zinc with gilt wash example might well be a late war piece on account of the zinc base and painted red centre.

Party cap eagle, 4th pattern - German
This is a third (and last) pattern NSDAP eagle, worn on late pattern Party caps, viz the Hitler Youth Flight Section officer's cap (see site map). It is identical in shape to the gilt aluminium ones I have in stock. It is a somewhat scruffy example, but nicely marked RZM to the reverse with the LDO number.
