This special pin was discontinued after the "Night of the Long Knives." Why?

Where is Hitlers NSPAD "Sovereignty of Office" Führer pin today? (aka: "Eagal of Sovereignty")

After Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party, he began acquiring paramilitary-like titles and using Nazi Party paramilitary uniforms to denote his position. Hitler's main title within the Nazi Party was simply that of Führer (leader) and there was never any special uniform designed for Hitler's position, although a rank pin for a civilian lapel (used by Hitler until 1934) was known as the "Eagle of Sovereignty Pin". Hitler ceased wearing this pin after the Night of Long Knives due to widespread issuance of the Golden Party Badge and Hitler's preference for this decoration.

Could be...although this pin was not worn after 1933 by Hitler. So more likely it might have been in his apartment in Munich. who knows, but its fun to wonder.

Two specimens were found in Hitler's Munich apartment. They were inherited by Frau Winter along with the rest of the contents of said apartment. It was documented in 1945 and they were auctioned off with the rest of her remaining estate (1970's if memory serves).
