Original German WWII Custom Keepsake Box with Inset NSDAP Party Enamel Membership Badge Pin Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice German WWII Custom made wooden keepsake box, which is covered with very nice wine red faux leather. It measures approximately 6 1/2″L x 4 1/4″W x 2 3/8″, and has a key lock on the front, though we unfortunately do not have the key. The top has some padding under the faux leather.

The interior is the same red material, with a red satin top pad. It looks like there at one time may have been an insert that rested on small shelves on either side of the box, bu that insert is now gone. 

Inset into the top is a very nice German WWII Era NSDAP (NSDAP) Party Enameled Badge Pin, the standard 24mm diameter, die struck alloy NSDAP membership badge with multi-colored enamel work. The badge features a red, circular outer border with embossed silvered script, NATIONAL-SOZIALSTISCHE-D.A.P., encompassing a white enamel field with canted black enamel Swas (swas). We can feel that it has a ‘safety pin’ style attachment, which was used to secure it to the top of the box before the inner padding was added.

A very nice bit of WWII German memorabilia, ready to display!

The NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), was originally founded in Munich as the DAP, Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (German Worker’s Party), on January 5TH 1919. When Adolf AH joined the DAP in the autumn of 1919 he was to reform what was basically a debating society into an active political party. Appointed as the first chairman of the party on July 29TH 1921 AH was to restructure it along para-military lines in a hierarchy of four levels of government.
