Coburg Badge on the Market


This is a first Pattern Coburg Badge that appeared on the market in Nov 2015 and has since been sold. It came with a Letter from the Brown House, addressing the badge to Karl Schegk. The Brown House (German: Braunes Haus) was the national headquarters of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) in Germany. it was a large impressive stone building located at 45 Brienner Straße in Munich, Bavaria. It was named for the color of the party uniforms. The Brown House was damaged in October 1943 and largely destroyed in an allied bombing raid late in World War II. The rubble was cleared away in 1947, leaving an empty lot.
