Hello, opinions appreciated on the Badge to the left hand side of the picture. The non maker example to the right hand side is Third Reich era although I have doubts on the Polleath example.

Hello Uwe,
how utterly amazing thank you for the information Uwe it is much appreciated. I think perhaps the Authour Ray Cowdery also got it wrong as the Badge is featured in the Book Nazi Para-Military organizations and their Badges. Below is a picture taken of page 88 from the Book featuring the Badge.

still, a very well made and good looking badge ... much nicer than the later made one ... Cheers, Torsten.

Hello Torsten, yes I have to agree, even though post war in hand it is a very attractive looking Badge and of superb quality.
Regards Martin
