1934 NSDAP Gau Party Day Badge

Original Third Reich-era political tinnie commemorating the NSDAP Gau Party Day (Gauparteitag) held in Aachen-Rote Erde in 1934. Constructed of stamped zinc or pot metal with an integral pinback attachment. The obverse features a large stylized swastika over an oak leaf wreath design with the inscription:

“Gau Parteitag Hitler ist Deutschland”
