Hi gang!

I have been presented this badge for sale. It's of the quality I would expect from a genuine piece... but I would like to hear some opinions on it please and thank you.

This is a reproduction, as the originals did not have an RZM...
cheers, Glenn

And not for sport..

I really want to see a real one some time.
If I am correct these badges were given to non-Germanic members of the Waffen SS in occupied country's when they won sportcontests...

This is supposed to be a real one, the runes seem slightly bigger to me.

The Germanic Proficiency Runes were awarded in bronze and silver for athletics, which also included a 30Km march and shooting as well as long-jump, etc...A rare original fetches for around $4000 from what I see...
