The Baden Gau Honor Badge in Silver was established in 1933 by the Baden Gauleiter, Robert Wagner. It commemorated the tenth anniversary of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in the Baden Gau. Unlike simple commemorative badges, this was an official party award, retrospectively honoring the loyalty of deserving members during the early organizational and combative phase of the party. It was awarded in two versions, one for men and one for women. There was also a gold version for "Old Fighters" who had joined the NSDAP before the Beer Hall Putsch of November 9, 1923.
Design and visual structure
The badge has a tall oval, openwork shape (Dimensions approx.) 45mm height) and is structured from the outside in as follows:
- The outer frame: The badge's edge is formed by a tall oval, open-topped wreath of oak leaves. There are 12 oak leaves on each side of the wreath.
- The central main element: Inside the openwork wreath is an eagle facing left (from the eagle's perspective) with outstretched wings. In its talons it carries an oak leaf wreath containing an upright swastika. The background of the wreath is painted black.
- The inscription: At the bottom of the outer oak leaf wreath is the inscription "GAU BADEN", the letters are painted black.
