Original WWII German NSDAP Party Membership Badge-RZM M1/186 Marked

Offered is an original National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) membership badge, a classic political insignia of the Third Reich. This example features the iconic design with a black swastika centered on a white enamel field, surrounded by a red border bearing the inscription “Nationalsozialistische D.A.P.”

The reverse retains its original horizontal pin-back assembly and is clearly marked with the RZM acceptance mark and M1/186 manufacturer code. The M1/186 code is recognized by collectors as one of the final RZM manufacturer codes assigned for NSDAP membership badges, believed to have been used during the late-war period, approximately 1944–1945, making these later production examples scarcer than many earlier variants.  

The badge retains excellent color, with strong red, white, and black paint and an attractive silvered finish. The original pin, hinge, and catch remain intact and functional.

• RZM marked with maker code M1/186.
