Buster Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have been on the lookout for a nice one of these, as you probably all know its a third reich DRL badge.The German National Sports Badge was first created in the year 1913 and is one of the oldest awards of Germany still in active circulation. Between 1914 and 1933, the German Sports Badge was issued for the completion of various physical tests by the young male population. As a military award, during the inter-war years of the 1920s and prior to 1933, the German National Sports Badge was one of the few military awards bestowed to the peacetime Reichswehr. Between 1933 and 1939, the German Sports Badge was overshadowed the SA Sports Badge which was a sports badge issued by the Nazi Party. Even so, the German Sports Badge was still regarded as an important qualification badge, and both the SA Sports Badge and German Sports Badge could both be earned and displayed 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin313 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Any idea why this badge is different on the back? Is it a replica? I’ve searched and searched and even the replica versions don’t look like this. Kevin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
