NSB - WA Sport Badge in Silver
NSB - WA Sport Badge in Silver (WA-Weersportinsigne). The sport-badge was intended for wear by the 'NSB'-related: 'Weerafdelingen' (being more or less the equivalent of the German SA or 'Sturmabteilungen'). The Dutch "Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging" (National Socialist Movement) was founded by 'Anton Mussert' in December 1931 and was a Dutch pro-German Nazi Party. The badge is not visible maker marked, these badges are never marked. It has clearly been worn and shows a nice patina. It might have been lacquered once. The badge is complete with a functional pin and catch. This badge has recently been found in a private household in the Netherlands and was not part of a collection before. Nice and scarce original example in good used condition!
