I missed this thread originally. It is very useful information and it is now a sticky.

It is very useful information and it is now a sticky.

Excellent news! I recently wanted to refer to this information and it took quite some searching to track it down. A sticky will make such exercises so much the easier, thank you!

SA - you have a "Defense Badge." And would be considered a type 1 in this category. If of course it's legit. Can't tell too great on my phone and in the photos.

Hello,

It is indeed a type 1 REDO in bronze.
Produced between 1934-1935.
It has been repared

Greets,

Willem,

That is not true unless I missed the "serial numbers" on the top half of the photo.

This badge was not produced until 1939.

The 34-35 you speak of is the type 1 SA Sports Badge with serial numbers in the lower half of the reverse. This, however is a type 1 SA Defense badge shown above.

Did I miss something?

Regards - Duff

Completely correct!

How to Assemble a collection of all three SA sports badge types without even trying.

I have picked these up over time, mainly because I liked the salty look.

Now that I found this thread, It must be luck of the draw but I have 3 SA sports badges 1 silver 2 bronze and they are type 1,2,3.

Im so amazed I can mark getting all types off my list. in fact its the only group in my collection that is complete in any formal fashion thanks for the post!
