    help to identify badge with horse

    firstly sorry carn't post pic as it won't allow me although i have paid my subs.

    the badge is about 2.5 cm high 2 cm wide.the picture is in white showing a horse to center standing on banner with "fur verdienste" below that target with crossed rifles,horse and target surrounded by ovel in white with gold writing "deutscher schutzen - verband ." at the top half of the oval the bottom part of the oval has " gau niedersachsen" surrounding the oval is a gold wreath with a white swaztica in gold at the bottom of the wreath.at the back makers mark"e schmidhaussler pforzheim"
    the horse is edged in gold colour as well.the gold and badge are in mint condition apart from the pin is bust!!!!
    i think its connected to hannover germany due to the horse and the wording niedersachsen.
    any ideas greatly recieved.

          I don't think it's for a Guard Unit; I believe it's a marksmanship badge for loyal service to the German Shooting Association/Club. It sounds like a really nice looking badge, I'd love to see a color picture of it.

            its a honor badge "for archievements" for the Gau Niedersachsen department (notice the horse) of the german sportshooting association.

              Posted for Chris. I haven't got a clue as to what the item on the left is, but the one on the right is a black Wound Badge.

                The badge on the left is a WHW (Winter Relief) tinnie, but as for the other two?

                  The item on the left is a day badge (Tag der Arbeit), the ribbon is off a 25 year Police long service cross, and the other is some sort of party loyalty pin.

                    The adler is for wear on a summer tunic, and the other item is an Ostfront medal - for service in Russia. A tip, try to save images as JPGs and not bitmaps.

                            hi Chris,
                            the ILVA badge in your second picture could be Italian. ILVA was a major metal-producing Italian company, active during WW1 and WW2.
