NSDAP Party Eagle Stick Pin
A stick pin surmounted by an eagle with outstretched wings perched above a wreathed roundel enclosing a mobile swastika device. The pin is formed in a single cast piece in metal appearing to be silvered, with the long straight pin stem extending below the eagle-and-wreath motif. Such stick pins were worn as a small lapel or tie accessory denoting political party membership or affiliation.
The NSDAP eagle-and-wreath motif, adopted as the party's official emblem, combined the traditional German eagle with the swastika to symbolize National Socialist ideology from the movement's early years until 1945. Small insignia such as stick pins allowed members and sympathizers to display party allegiance in everyday civilian dress, distinct from the larger badges worn at rallies or in uniform. Such items were mass-produced through licensed manufacturers under the NSDAP's insignia control office (Reichszeugmeisterei) to ensure conformity with approved party designs.
