Miniature DRL Sports Badge in Bronze (Deutsches Reichsabzeichen für Leibesübungen in Bronze). Originally introduced as the DRA medal shortly after the 1913 Olympic games as an incentive to promote physical training among the German population. In 1933 the DRA badge was replaced by a new DRL badge of the same design. This is a nice 17mm sized 'Buntmetall' miniature, maker marked 'B&N, L' indicating production by the company of 'Berg & Nolte' from Lüdenscheid. Nice original miniature in very good condition!
