Hi,

an award from 1927 is a "Deutsches Turn- und Sportabzeichen" (DRA), in Bronze (born 1909).

The "Deutsches Sportabzeichen" in Gold from 1949 must be the DSA sports badge, issued first in 1948, latest in 1951/1952:

His mother lived in Essen in North Rhine-Wesphalia, and that is correct for the DSA sports badge (Post 9).

It was, for the Bundeswehr, not an official award, you could not wear it on the uniform or a ribbon bar.
On a ribbon bar he could wear (only theoritical) the Bronze badge from 1927, but I never saw a ribbon bar with a DSA mini.

JeremyJ - I too would like to thank you for posting your exceptional Wehrpas.

I have a copy of Reinhard Teuber's book, "Die Bundeswehr 1955-1995". It is packed with early order of battle information to include the names of unit commanders.

If you would like to borrow it for a spell to conduct research on the units included in your Wehrpas, please send me a PM.

Again, thanks for taking the time to share your treasured find with us.

All the best - TJ

The latter award pages are similar to Mike's Wehrpas where the awards are shown as confirmed by the Wehrpas from WW2, including the page number, and/or the documents that were used to confirm dates.

Cheers
