SS Sympathizer Badge Of Honor # 950
The SS High Honor Needle like the standard FM supporter pin was for
those who made financial contributions to the SS. The contributions
would have been much higher however to receive this particular pin.
While the central design is similar to the standard pin, it stops there. Made of silver with a typical leaf motif added and the wording " Dank Der SS Fur Treue Hilfe in Der Kampfzeit "
Again, having to be a member
of the Nazi Party or the SS. Generally the badge would be for the
wealthy and these were numbered and manufactured of solid silver, with
some having gone back and renumbered for a new recipient. Both variants
can be found in market, and this is particularly interesting as it has
its original issue number and it lays in its case.
These were discontinued in 1933 according to Cone's reference and production would certainly be lower than the standard variant.
