Description
This is an original WWII German Sportabzeichen, or Sports Badge. These were first introduced by Ernst Röhm on November 28, 1933, to be awarded to NSDAP members for physical proficiency. This particular example is the bronze-grade variant but has since lost much of its finish. The reverse is marked "W. REDO, SAARLAUTERN", denoting production by Werner Redo of then-named Saarlautern, Germany. The sword's reverse is marked "EIGENTUM SPORTABZEICHEN S.A. FÜHRUNG", or Property of the S.A. Sports Badge Leadership.
Provenance
Private Collection, Marysville, Washington
Condition Report
This piece is in good, used condition. The bronze finish is almost completely worn away; however, both the pin and catch are intact and functional.
