2 button NSDAP and HJ
I got 2 badges i like to hear your opinion on. The nsdap looks real but the hj badge im not sure about. The stamp on the hj badge in under the holder in one end (rzm). Is that normal or is it a fake. And what value on them?
Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
Both appear original, the HJ has "serious" enamel damage, and the NSDAP has been heavily cleaned, especially on the reverse- but retains nice enamel. I'd say the HJ is worth $35.00 US and the NSDAP $75.00 US (+ or - $10.). IMHO, of course.

I got this 2 but poor condition. M1/105 Hermann Aurich, Dresden. What to do with it? Repaint?
Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
Leave it as it is; repainting it would not increase its value.

Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
I guess the value is low because the condition. Is it a common one on the market?
Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
Just a "latewar" version of the party pin... paint doesn't adhere to the zinc as it oxidizes... not rare, less desirable than the enamel version... condition on this one is quite bad due to paint lose.... but still original and fairly typical for the zink version.

Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
I got a new question. Is it posible to se on a visor cap badge If its real. I dont see any stamp or anything else. Its a luftwaffe badge in metal.
Re: 2 button NSDAP and HJ
Didn't see the "new post".... yes, original Luftwaffe EM/NCO Visor Hat "Wreath with wings & cockade"- looks like a "midwar" example with wire pins... fairly common in the "hat insignia department", value with pins intact $25.00 US retail. (+/-)... don't try bending the pins and don't flatten it.
