There was no transitional 1934-1937 DRL sports badge without Swastika; this is an error found in older works (for example Klietmann or Littlejohn/Dodkins) which has long been disproven.
The DRA sports badge was directly succeeded by the DRL sports badge with Swastika. The DRL badges without the Swastika are from the early post-war period and were meant as replacement awards for recipients of the Nazi-era DRL sports badge.
