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

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

Collected bayonet this morning, all safe & sound as described. Been looking for one as good as this for years. Thank you.
