History:
Known as the "1929 Nürnberg Party Badge", it was awarded to those Nazi Party members who had attended the national rally in the city of Nuremberg. A special honor badge, the Party through regulations of 6 November 1936, established the badge for the 4th Reichsparteitage der NSDAP (4th National Party Day) in Nuremberg of 1-4 August 1929. Permission to wear the Nuremberg Party Badge was granted by the Gauleiter (Senior district leader). The wearing of the badge could be withdrawn by Hitler and the chief of the Nazi Party Chancellery, Martin Bormann.
Following the NSDAP seizure of power, the Nuremberg Party Day Badge took on a symbol of the "Old Guard" and was frequently displayed by high-ranking leaders, including Adolf Hitler (who normally did not wear an excess of NSDAP awards) at subsequent Nuremberg rallies.
In November 1936, Hitler's new "orders" for the "Orders and Awards" to be bestowed included this as #2. The list was sequenced as follows:
1. Coburg Badge
2. Nuremberg Party Badge of 1929
3. SA Treffen at Brunswick 1931
4. Golden Party Badge
5. The Blood Order
