easterneagle87 Posted March 4 Share #1 Posted March 4 Found this Sports Badge in a case of women's broaches. It doesn't have the swaz, so I am curious if it is pre or post war. I believe it to be pre. Markings on the back: On one side: H. WERNSTLIN , JENA - LOBSTEDT On the other side: D.R.G.M.33918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted March 4 Share #2 Posted March 4 Here is a forum link to a topic on German Sports awards that may be helpful. I think your badge is pre-1945 since it has a "DRGM" number on the back. These markings are not seen on the postwar badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted March 4 Author Share #3 Posted March 4 Great thread! Appreciate the info. I haven't collected German in years and it is always fun to find an original piece. When I saw it mixed in with a tray of women's jewelry & broaches, I knew what it was and with a fairly cheap price tag on it, I knew it was a no brainer to snag it.
