DRL Sports Badge for War Wounded - Variant?

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I have this DRL Sports Badge for War Wounded. It came in a lot from Hermann Historica, so hopefully it's good, but it lacks the swastika - is this a legitimate but variant form?

No makers marks on the reverse either. Has anyone seen this type before?

Many thanks for looking,

Best regards,

Guy

The badge without the swastica was produced in 1957. As for the lack of maker's mark, I'll let someone else comment.

Post war IMO!

Hi,

postwar, but not produced in 1957.

In principle it is a fantasy piece, but it could be, that a more local sports organization ordered these pieces unofficial.

In my opinion most of these pieces were made at the end of the 40s and the beginning 50s, first with swastika, next without the swastika but with the upper "tip" of the swastika at the top of the loop, and as the last without the "tip".

Thanks Guys - appreciate the comments - it sounds like the badge is nothing to get excited about.

Cheers, Guy
