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.

testimonials

I have in the last six months inherited my late father Alan Swain's police memorabilia collection along with much paperwork receipts etc. I would like to pass on to you my thanks for such good dealership with my father going back to the late 80s and well into the 1990s.

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.
