Cool! Never seen any button like that with double shanks. I can only guess that it was used in a high stress area like the waist band of trousers.

These markings are seen on many dagger chains and clips which have a double hook. Maybe it goes to an early german dagger.

It's NSDAP political button.
Here's another with double loop

Thanks.
I figure it must have been for a shoulder tab or something like that, with the double loops.

Great find! But it leaves us with a thought....Did they stash Hitler's body in the bowels of a museum or did they leave Hitler loose, deep in the Swamps of Louisiana? Too many possibilities. But one thing is for sure, we can mark this find solved.
