Anti Partisan Badge in Gold #13487

Anti-Partisan Badge in Gold. Zinc semi hollow back with honest wear to the gold finish. Extremely rare to find any partisan badge, but the gold award is impossible to find. This one came from an advanced collector who obtained this several decades ago. This award was enacted by Hitler on January 29, 1944 and retroactive to January 1st 1943. Himmler reserved the right to award the gold anti-partisan badge, which was given for 100 days in combat against partisans.Maker unmarked, approx. 50mm X 59mm, 29 grams, magnetic clasp/hinge
