Interesting (in my opinion) sports badge

[paracelso]

Here is this sports badge DRL but without svastika, for war disabled of my collection. I think that is a badge immediately post war or so, because this kind of badge (gold and silver) was instituted in 1942.
Someone wants give any opinion about it?

Hi Tom!
Great question, not really sure on the answer!017.gif
The earliest Deumer EK1's had the L/11 MM, and the EK2's all seem to have the "3" on the ribbon ring, the earliest S&L EK2'S had the "4" on the ribbon ring, and a few pinback badges and medals used wartime leftover pins, again with the "4" mark!
Assmann pieces were often marked with the stylised "A", and Souval still used the L/58 on some 57 pieces and blankcore EK's etc.
But the vast majority of pieces by both S&L, Deumer, and all the Deschler's I've seen are all unmarked!! Why??? Don't know??
You would have though they would have been proud of their products and marked them all???

Thanks Matthieu. I present two more St. u. L. from my collection.

Mathijs, remember not to sell the ones you really like (seriously). These are all very nice examples.

Since I have never collected 57 type badges of any kind , I've learned a lot from this forum. The medals I have are all keepers and thats why I have "tried" not to collect any of them in multiples. That way I'm not tempted to sell. Tom

Great Sports badges Gents, with familiar rear hardware ! The Deumer version, cut out or not, the quality is still evident, nice examples
Prost ! Steve.
