Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP |
 | | The Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP is regarded by collectors as some of the most attractive and historically significant pieces of Third Reich memorabilia available. |
 | | The Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP was authorized by a Hitler decree of October 13, 1933 to honor those Party Members who, as of November 9, 1933, had a registered membership number under 100,000 - provided their party membership had been active and uninterrupted since the NSDAP's re-founding on February 17, 1925. |
 | | Because the Gold Party Badge was the symbol of the new elite of Nazi Germany - and carried with it certain privileges - there was a rash of people who had held NSDAP membership numbers under 100,000, but had left the Party before 1930. |
