Ehrennadel der NSBO

[JoeW]

Has anyone heard of or seen an example in person or in photograph of an Ehrennadel der NSBO. I found the listing of the award on the NSDAP Fragebogen of the Minister President of Thuringen. The two precise listings were "Ehrenzeichen.............Goldenes NSBO-Abzeichen." And under "Besondere Tätigkeit ausserhalb Partei und SA... Ehrennadel DAF (NSBO)." On another forum a statement was made that the badge was .800 silver NSBO insignia stickpin with oakleaf surround and gold washed on the front. Numbered. Thank you.

Thank you for the addition Matt. I have neglected to return to this thread I started. Here is a photo of mine. I have since learned that the pin was called the Traditionsabzeichen der N.S.B.O. des Gaues Thüringen and was awarded in 1935.

It is a wonderful piece. I followed the thread elsewhere on it of course. Congratulations on another very rare piece added to your collection!
