The Nürnberg 1929 Party Day Stickpin shows a resting eagle on top of a German steel helmet
emblazoned with a swastika. On the top shows the landscape of the Nürnberg city with the words 1914-1919 NSDAP Parteitag 1929. This particular stickpin is marked on the reverse with the marker F. Hoffstätter, Bonn and GES GESCH for registered trademark. The knurled pin is affixed onto a disc, again with the Bonn firm of Ferdinand Hoffstättermarker's mark and very carefully soldered onto the badge. The overall badge is very well made despite its small size and being rarely offered in the collector's market. Private purchase pieces marked 800 for silver are sometimes also encountered.

This
is a table medal variant of the Nürnberg 1929 party day award, said to
be bestowed to dignitaries and VIPs. The plaque is constructed from
solid bronze, and the reverse is plain with the exception of an embossed
maker’s name that reads, F. Hoffstatter Bonn. Cased examples exist with a
blood red case and usually embellished with a dark blue coloured lining
on the inside. There are fakes in circulation. When comparing to the
badges, there is greater similarity to that of the late-issue badge
where there are consistencies to the style of text such as the G of
Nürnberg and the numerals with a drooping tip. The details of the eagle
on this plaque is excellent, with feathered streaks on the body. From
author's own collection.
