BeVo-woven NSRL Sports Badge

Description

BeVo-woven NSRL 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. The DRL organisation was renamed to NSRL (Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen) on 21 December 1938. This is a nice cloth version (Stoffausführung) of the NSRL Sports Badge, woven in the so-called 'BeVo'-weave technique in orange/bronze on a black background. The patch is just a bit wrinkled caused by years of storage. Nice original example in good unissued condition!
