SA NSDAP Golden Party Badge Member Personal-Ausweis Identification

This is an extremely rare 1927 model NSDAP Red Cover SA personal identification issued in 1931 to one of the first 100,000 NSDAP party members assigned to the SA.  It has dues stamps covering all of the years from 1931 to 1938.

It has the signatures of Adolf Hitler, SS-Oberstgruppenführer Franz Xaver Schwarz (these may be an iron stamp, it is difficult to tell. This item is priced as if they are stamps), and a very clear quill pen signed Ernst Röhm signature, and Ortsleiter Enhuber (signature is difficult to read), as well as the party member Rudolf Schleicher (Party number 23392), also quill pen signed.

This ID has a wealth of detailed information on Rudolf Schleicher, a very young member of the early NSDAP (he joined the party when he was 26 years old in 1925).  The Roehm signature is dated 1.5.31.  The book is dated effective 20 Mai 31.

Included with this book is a 1946 dated photograph of Rudolf Schleicher, taken while he was a prisoner of the Allies, detained as prisoner number 110-085 in the Darmstadt internment facility.

Here are some close-up images of several of the more important pages. Pages: 8-9 -- 8 (close) -- 12-13 -- 22-23 -- 22 (close) Note that the 1946 photo is simply laying on one of the pages. It is not attached.

German Embassy in WASHINGTON, DC Naval Attaché Hand Stamp

This is an extremely rare German Embassy in Washington, DC Naval Attaché hand stamp.  German Consular hand stamps are extremely rare and very seldom encountered, as they became persona non grata with the outbreak of WWII.  Stamps from Washington are the rarest and most desirable as it was the site of the main German Embassy.

The stamp is solid brass and measures 35mm in diameter and 28mm high.  The original wooden handle is not present.  There are traces of red wax from impressing a seal on a document remaining in a portion of the "g" in Washington.  The German text reads: Deutsche Borshaft der Marineattaché Washington.   A mirror image of the face of the stamp is shown here to make it easier to read.
