Description
1929 Coburg Badge. Good looking 1929 Coburg Badge measuring 4.3cm by 2.8cm. On October 14th of 1922 Hitler lead a group of National Socialists via train from Munich into Coburg which was under the influence of Marxists and a brief street fight ensued with the people of the Coburg eventually taking the side of the Nazis who came out on top and in 1932 Hitler ordered a commemorative badge for this event with the badge, by the order of the Fuhrer in 1936, rating higher in importance then the Blood Order. It would seem that this badge is for an annual meeting held by the National Socialists in May of 1929 at this important town. While not the 1932 badge, which is valued in the thousands of dollars this is still an early piece of NSDAP history and struck before the other piece. LH11253
