NSDAP Party Badge Rarity guide

Description

I stumbled upon this list that seems to be hidden on a DEV. address in the WAF that you can’t find if you go to their website. Possibly lost when they switched servers.

It’s old, but it is very valuable in telling us just how hard it is to find some of these badges.

The number indicates the number of times A badge has been posted on the WAF forum. Please note, this list is from 2010! The list is in no way intended to be 100% factual but rather just a general guide to rarity. It includes badges that are not found in some reference works as well which is really useful. The badge in the photo is a rare maker M1/76 – Hillenbrand
& Bröer that led me to find this list.
