SA Sports Badge for War Wounded

**Glenn66** · 02-10-2011, 08:50 AM

I've been keeping an eye out for one of these badges for awhile now and have just spotted this example for sale at $350.
It's not the best condition and could even be ground dug but (a) is it genuine? and (b) is it overpriced? (I think so)

What are the forum's opinions?

Nothing wrong with it, typical Deschler.

That's correct, more like "maimed" in this context.

They were, this isn't one of those type of Verwundetenabzeichen. This is a political version of a Sports Badge that was issued from 1940 to wounded personnel who were disabled and couldn't qualify for the regular Sports Badge.
