Michal19: It is an Autoplakette meaning that it was attached to an automobile, probably one owned by a member of the SA. It commemorates a 1933 SA parade in Liegnitz, a town in the German province, Silesia, apparently in celebration of "Braune Pfingston," which literally translates to “Brown Pentecost” in English. Pentacost is celebrated by Christians 50 days after Easter, but how Pentecost fit into the Nazi ideology is unknown to me. Liegnitz, was a town in the German province, Silesia, that is today known as Legnica, Poland. Your badge appears to be genuine. Dwight
