DRL Sportabzeichen in Bronze

[MAP]

Well my PC is back up and running after crashing on Saturday...

So here is another item I picked up recently but couldn't post until the PC was fixed.

Already have one of these but wanted another to put on a new uniform I picked up.

Nothing special. But a decent example.

Looks like someone unfortunately cleaned it up with Brasso or something to shine it up. Some Q-tips got rid of the white powder residue (after I took the pictures).

Works out well however since it will actually look nicer on the minty uniform.

Common Wernstein Jena maker.

Pin has had a re-curve it seems. These are another
underrated Third Reich badge.........

Thanks!

Yes it has been bent. Saw this when I bought it and assumed the owner wanted to keep it much closer to the fabric of the tunic so it wouldn't wobble around or get snagged. Was not done by accident. Need to be careful when I put it on the tunic.

Agree that these are under appreciated and are quite pleasant to look at. They are quite cheap. The tunic is for a medical officer so was looking for a badge that he might have worn. I put an EK1 on it and now this. Was considering an SA Sports badge but thought it more likely he would have a DRL but could be wrong.

A great looking and well marked Badge. It does look like brasso or duraglit was used to clean it. A little Isopropyl alcohol on a Qtip will remove it.(Jarhead trick) As far as the computer crash, my I suggest that you limit your porn site visits
