    Opinions on this enamel

    Thinking about buying this badge. But I can't find a game in Berlin that year against Finnland.

    Never seen one before. I don't like any badges where the pin itself protrudes beyond the badge, even a little. Not saying that's a deal breaker, but wanted the list's opinion. I did a little research. There was a game with Finnland that year - but all I could find was a game in Leipzig.


    See the programs here
    This doesn't mean that there weren't other games in 1940 in Berlin.

    Opinions?

      The badge was given for "Länderkampf im Turnen" competition Finland - Germany in

      gymnastics (!) - not football.

        You are looking at Football .. the badge says TURNEN
        You will find your answer on page 92 of the book:
        Sport und Politik in den Beziehungen Finnlands zur Sowjetunion: 1940 - 1952

        Doesn't mean that the badge is real though. Never had one, never wanted one, and at €275.- wont be picking this one up either.

          Turnen is Gymnastics.. Oh dear. I suppose part of my research should be a simple translation.
