Original German WWII SA Sports Badge (Sportabzeichen) In Bronze by Redo
This is an original German WWII SA Sports Badge in Bronze (Sportabzeichen), one of the most iconic political awards of Pre-WWII. Originally instituted by SA Chief of Staff Ernst Röhm on November 28, 1933, the badge was awarded to individuals who successfully completed a demanding series of physical fitness, military proficiency, and endurance tests. In 1935, the award was officially recognized as a national decoration and became available to both military personnel and qualified civilians.
The badge features the classic SA sword superimposed over a mobile swas., enclosed within a detailed oakleaf wreath tied with ribbon at the base. The majority of the badge front and back is tarnished.
The reverse retains the original vertical pin and catch assembly and is maker marked “W. REDO” along with faint patent and issue markings. The pinback assembly is completely intact and functional. There are some areas exhibiting finish loss and oxidation.
Overall this badge is in good condition. Please refer to photos for additional details and actual condition.
