SA Sports Badge in Bronze (SA-Sportabzeichen). The SA (Sturmabteilung) was originally formed in August 1921 as a protective guard unit for the political leaders of the NSDAP. The SA Sportsbadge in bronze was instituted by SA-Stabschef 'Ernst Röhm' on 28 November 1933, for award to SA and SS personnel who passed the required criteria in physical fitness, military defence and field exercises. This is a 1939/1945 example marked with the third pattern inscription 'Eigentum der Obersten SA-Führung'. The badge is nicely maker marked by the company of ' Petz & Lorenz' from Unterreichenbach . The details on the magnetic steel badge are really pronounced and stunning. Nice original badge in good condition!
