This is a rare AH presentation Gold Party Badge dated 9.11.1936, featuring beautiful hand-engraving on the reverse. The badge itself is in beautiful condition. One small spot of enamel damage depicted in the photos. 99% of the original fire gold finish remains. According to the Klaus Patzwall book on the AH Gold Party Pin, the awarding of these from Hitler began on 9 November 1936 (the date this badge was conferred). According to the Patzwall book, only Reichminister Walter Darre, Reichsleiter Otto Dietrich, RAD Leader Konstantin Hierl, NSKK Korpsfuhrer ADolf Huhnlein, Gerhard Wagner, and a couple other notable personalities received the award in 1936. The award is pictured here with a photo of Darre, but it could have belonged to any of these people. Whoever received this, it was one of the earliest awarded examples, and was carried in great halls of impotance as the tragedy of Hitler unfolded on the German people.
