Hello juoneen, Thanks for that. I will have a read.

It's in very nice condition. But, understand that this was a bit of Nazi propaganda bling for sale to Freikorps veterans. Leo Schlageter was a right-wing extremist thug who killed indiscriminately. The French executed him for sabotage in the Ruhr in 1923 and the Nazis later elevated him to martyr status because it served their agenda. This badge was created to encourage many Freikorps vets to come over to the Nazis as many of them supported other political groups aligned against the Nazi and some Freikorps vets were strongly anti-Nazi.
