WW2 German Hitler Bust Donation Badge by Deschler & Sohn München 9 – Silvered Aluminum Pin This is an original Third Reich-era Adolf Hitler bust donation badge, manufactured by the prominent firm Deschler & Sohn, located at München 9 (Munich)—one of the most respected medal and insignia producers of the period. This example is struck in silvered aluminum and features a detailed left-facing profile of Adolf Hitler surrounded by a raised oak leaf and ribbon border. The reverse is plain aside from the finely stamped maker's mark: “DESCHLER U.S. MÜNCHEN 9”, confirming its origin from one of the most prolific and high-quality Third Reich-era badge manufacturers. The badge is round in form, measuring approximately 35mm in diameter, and constructed from lightweight aluminum with a silver finish that remains intact with minor wear consistent with age. The pinback hardware consists of a soldered catch and a functioning steel horizontal pin, typical of mid-1930s German construction. No campaign dates, slogans, or WHW inscriptions are present on this version, indicating it may have been privately commissioned for distribution by party officials, NSDAP branches, or as an unofficial fundraising or propaganda item rather than through a formal Winterhilfswerk campaign. Badges of this type were likely handed out at rallies, political functions, or fundraising events and served to reinforce loyalty and the cult of personality surrounding Hitler during the early consolidation years of Nazi rule. Deschler & Sohn was responsible for producing many of the most recognizable awards and insignia of the era, including the Iron Cross and Golden Party Badge, and their pieces are highly prized for their craftsmanship and historical significance. This example remains in excellent original condition, with sharp relief, crisp maker mark, and no repairs. A fine piece of Third Reich-era political memorabilia, offered strictly for historical preservation and research.
