Some German badges I was made the caretaker of

Here are some German badges from a collection I was made the caretaker of. Opinions welcome

The last two images are a National-Sozialistische-Frauenschaft (National Socialist Women's Organization - Frauenschaft properly translates to "womanhood") member's badge.  It is hallmarked "Ges.Gesch." which is an abbreviation for gesetzlich geschützt, which translates to "protected by law".  Its equivalent in English would be "patent pending".  The letters, in stylized Fraktur, are G (Glaube), H (Hoffnung) and L (Liebe), which stand for faith, hope and love.  Great looking badge, and definitely a genuine pre -war piece.

(Should the owner decide to sell it, let me know)

 

Below are images of genuine NSF badges (The badge with the blue border is for Ortsgruppe / Ortsfrauenschaftsleiterin - a local leader), and an NSF book, published in 1934, which contains a selection of essays concerning the "proper German woman" in thought, word and deed, so to speak.   

 

This is one of many books banned by the Allies during the occupation, 1945 - 1949, and purchase, sale, display, distribution or even possession of it was a criminal offense.

I need to sell this shadow box of German Medals, all verified authentic.  Can somebody point me to a place where i can do that?

 

Thank you for your time,,

You will need to post this in the FOR SALE SECTION which is at the bottom of the forum topic page.

 

Now don't take offense to this but you will need to take pictures of the fronts and backs of each of the decorations in order for interested buyers to see the reverse of each item. Just because someone has verified these are authentic collectors will want to verify that for themselves.

 

Again no offense but personally I would not want to spend monry on any Third Reich item unless I could see fronts and backs. I wouldn't juts go on faith that someone told me they were authentic...

 

Best regards
