It is believed that this particular Coburg Badge came from Anny
Brunner-Winter who was Hitler's housekeeper in his Munich flat at
Prinzregentenplatz 16 from 1929 to 1945, stating that the badge
originated from Hitler's personal possessions. The written statement and the badge was sold at a past auction house for 7,200 euros. Collectors should be aware that while water-tight and solid provenance provides added historical significance, at times loose documents should be taken with a pinch of salt. It is the author's belief that although the needle system for this badge is intact, it is actually a replacement as these were extremely fragile.
