Badge is post war.

Rainer,

It's a "good" badge, but also likely a post WWII piece. Some evidence has come to light recently indicating DRL sport badges without the swastica were likely not produced prior to May 1945.

Scott is of course right, sorry for not elaborating further!

The badge is not a fake as such, but was used in the post-war years minus the swastika it seems.

Some very good information was bought forward in regards to these on a thread in the Police and Civil Organisations section of the forum.

Here is the link to the discussion....

Looks good to me also, post war but wear on the back is hard to fake like that.
