THIRD REICH NSDAP 1923 GAU BADGE.
These rare Gau badges can be found with a 1923 or 1925 date depending on if the original owner joined the NSDAP before 9th of November 1923 or in 1925 when the party was re-founded, in my opinion the 1923 is more desirable as a good percentage of the original owners were probably also awarded the Blood Order medal for there involvement in the Munich Putsch in 1923.The badge features a silver oakleaf and acorn wreath with a large black painted swastika and with the date 1923. The reverse side features two small rivets that holds the swastika in place and it is maker marked, R.WACHTLER & LANGE MITTWEIDA 800 (the 800 is the silver content mark) The badge is fitted with the correct type type of pin and hook.
