WW2 Nazi German NSDAP Ortsgruppe Third Reich Official Government mail cover w Swastika Eagle

Original NSDAP Ortsgruppe Lichtenegg Cover Pair 6pf Party Official Stamps Wels

Original Third Reich-era NSDAP local Party organization envelope from Lichtenegg, Kreis Wels, Austria, featuring an impressive printed NSDAP eagle and swastika letterhead and a pair of matching 6 Pfennig NSDAP Party official postage stamps.

The upper-left corner is printed:

“Ortsgruppenleitung der NSDAP.
Lichtenegg
Kreis Wels”

Translation:

“Local Group Leadership of the NSDAP
Lichtenegg
District of Wels”

This identifies the sender as the NSDAP Ortsgruppe (local Party group) leadership at Lichtenegg, in the Wels district of Upper Austria.

Excellent NSDAP Postal Franking

The envelope retains a horizontal pair of green 6 Pfennig official Party stamps, each displaying a large swastika, Party eagle and the inscription “Arbeiterpartei” / “Deutsches Reich.”

The pair is tied directly to the envelope by the original circular postal cancellation. This combination of an official NSDAP Ortsgruppenleitung envelope with matching Party official stamps makes for a particularly attractive piece of Third Reich postal and political history.

The envelope is addressed to:

Frau Maria Richter
Kunstmühle Fritsch, Wels

The Kunstmühle Fritsch designation refers to the Fritsch milling operation in Wels.

Historical Interest

Unlike an ordinary civilian envelope, this piece originated directly from a local NSDAP Party administrative office. Ortsgruppen were the local organizational units of the NSDAP and handled Party administration and activities within their assigned districts.

Especially desirable features include:

• Original NSDAP Ortsgruppenleitung Lichtenegg letterhead
• Large printed Party eagle and swastika
• Kreis Wels identification
• Pair of 6 Pfennig NSDAP official stamps
• Both stamps remain attached together as a pair
• Strong swastika and Party eagle designs on the stamps
• Original period postal cancellation
• Addressed locally to Wels, Austria
• Genuine period-used political postal stationery

Condition: The envelope shows considerable period wear, particularly along the upper edge, including tears, losses, creasing and opening wear. Additional age toning and handling are present. Importantly, the printed NSDAP heading remains bold and clear, while both 6 Pfennig stamps remain attached. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition.

A very displayable and historically interesting example of Third Reich NSDAP Party postal history from Austria, combining an official Ortsgruppe envelope, political insignia and matching Party postage.
