Title SA Sports badge
Nationality German
Period c 1934
Sold

This is the SA sports/fitness qualification badge and is an early numbered example in iron, which would originally have had a bronze finish and is maker marked 'E.SCHNEIDER // LUDENSCHEID'. Classically, this badge is often seen on SS men in their black pre-war uniforms, together with perhaps a Coburg rally badge.

It has lost all its bronze finish, but is now a pleasant grey patinated colour. There are substantial traces of the bronze finish to the reverse of the badge. It is numbered 550413.

I received the silver Verdienstkreuz this morning. Your swiftness and dedication was very much appreciated and, though the envelope arrived with a Post Office sticker saying it had been found open or damaged, the cross was unharmed and looks beautiful. Thanks for your time.
