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.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
