I'm not a badge guy but when I saw this in hand, I had to have it. The quality and detail of the badge are stunning.

Yes, they are massive with a haunting design. I wanted one after I read Schlageter's story. Very brave man.
It would be nice to see more. Post em if you got em.

Indeed these are beautiful badges; were they awarded by a "Schlageter Society" or some organization that sponsored his memorial? I would imagine that anyone wanting to add more bars to his badge would have had to prove in some way that he was deserving of each addition...? I believe I once saw a photo of a Schlageter Badge with all four bars present; I think it was in an auction catalog and the opening bid was far above what my humble wallet could accommodate!

Does anyone have any response or thoughts on the question I raised here yesterday: were the Schlageter Badges awarded by a "Schlageter Society" or some organization that sponsored his memorial? I would imagine that anyone wanting to add more bars to his badge would have had to prove in some way that he was deserving of each addition, so who or what body would such a person contact in order to secure additional bars?
