Tag der Arbeit Abzeichen 1. Mai 1939 by Chr. Bauer of Welzheim. Introduced in 1933, the NSDAP declared May 1st the “Day of National Work” as an official state holiday to celebrate laborers and the working classes. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The round shaped obverse features a woman in dress holding flowers beside a national eagle (with outstretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika in its talons), “1. Mai 1939”, a bannered “Ostmark Altreich Sudetenland” and "RK" to the bottom. The full back reverse has a vertically crimped well working steel pin and is maker marked “Chr. Bauer Welzheim”. It measures 1 3/8 inches in diameter. It has minor oxidization, as seen in the photos. A great piece to add to your Labor Day/May Day tinnie collection!
