    Fantasy badge?

    Is this badge real or a fantasy piece? I don't believe it to be. Thanks for any comments.

      Badge

      It's supposed to be a Dutch SS Sports Badge. Post some better pictures to scale instead of the "Drive In Movie Screen" effect

        The design for this Dutch SS sports badge never left the drawing table - instead , the Germanische Leistungsrune was introduced .
        Specimens marked either " SS " or " NSB " were produced postwar only ..

          Thank you for the information, and I apologized for my pictures beforehand. It is all I had and figured people could see if it was a fantasy piece or not from what I posted. Sometimes people have what they have and try to do the best with that.

            Hi,

            Feldmeijer the leader of the Germanic SS in Nederland announced (unilateraly) this badge in "Storm SS" N°10 (1st Year), June 13, 1941,
            but Himmler quickly stopped the project...
            A sport badge for all the volunteers in the Waffen-SS was finally introduced in 1943, the Germanische Leistungsrune.

            Note the upside down badges...

            See You

              Hi,

              the one and only SS sport badge, the Germanische Leistungsrune, was promoted on "Storm SS" N°45 (3rd Year), February 11, 1944.
              Actually the badge existed since the previous summer, but a big ceremony was done in the Netherlands, with 90 GL in bronze and 9 GL in silver awarded to Dutch SS. Please note that the badge was given to all the Waffen-SS, not only the "Germanic" volunteers.
              Strangely Feldmeijer was not invited to the ceremony...

              See You
