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!

Thank you very much for keeping talking, Matt. My schedule has not allowed me to return to this conversation. If you're interested in seeing a photo of myself, here it is. The pin was first awarded to me as the Traditionsabzeichen der N.S.B.O. des Gaues Thüringen in 1935, but I didn't recognize it at the time.

Hello there, unfortunately no photos show in your post. Are you saying you are one of the awardees of the above mentioned pins? Either way, I'd love to see your treasure.

thanks!
