Tag der Arbeit Medal – 1934

Description

This is an authentic “Tag der Arbeit” (Day of Labour) badge, issued in 1934 by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF) to commemorate the first official Labour Day celebration under the Third Reich. The badge is made from brass-colored metal, giving it a distinct early-period appearance. The design depicts a worker with a hammer, a farmer with a sickle, and a soldier with a sword — symbolizing the unity of labour, agriculture, and military under National Socialism. Above them is the eagle and swastika, with the inscription “Tag der Arbeit 1934” below.

This 1934 example represents the very first year these badges were issued, making it a particularly desirable and historically important piece. The details remain well preserved, showing crisp relief and a warm brass tone that enhances its period character.
