Unmarked DRL Bronze Badge with issue documents 1942.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello,

Well, the document booklet certainly looks good. I'm not entirely sure about the DRL Sports Badge, though. It looks well-made and I think it is probably okay. But some collectors say that originals must be maker marked and D.R.G.M. numbered and that the unmarked badges are postwar reproductions.

Best regards,
Tom

Thanks - this one came with the document and was purchased directly from the family who had it.

I just picked one of these up. The controversy reminds me of the Ground assault badge unmarked for Luftwaffe. Its now known to be original.
