DRL Sport Badge; Silver Grade by Wernstein Jena

The Reich Sports Badge was one of the best-known performance badges in the field of physical training and was awarded in several grades. The silver version represents a mid or advanced performance level within the structured system of sports awards.

Such badges were worn as a visible sign of physical achievement. For collectors, the maker, pin configuration and markings are especially important. The reverse mark Wernstein, Jena together with DRGM 35269 makes this example interesting from a production and collecting standpoint.

Well-preserved examples with clear reverse markings and complete pin assemblies are appreciated collector’s pieces in the field of historical badges, especially when the maker can be identified with certainty.
