Shooting awards?

I believe they are shooting awards? Any info on the history and authenticity would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all once again.

We also buy and trade your items and full collections!

Yes, someone will be able to tell you what the initials stand for.
I will move this to the non-combat section.

Odd. I've never seen these before. The letters stand for the 'Deutscher
Schutzen Verband', but this style of eagle is associated with the NSRL
which is the 'National Socialist League of Physical Exercise'.
Curious to know if they are authentic.........

I've seen a couple of other examples for sale and they are simply labeled "marksman awards"..

The Deutscher Schützenverband and various other specialized sports leagues retained their names, but were incorporated into the NSRL, so the use of that organisation's eagle is not surprising.

(I cannot comment on authenticity, though.)

Thank you for the clarification. It is getting more and more rare that I see new items I haven't seen before. That's why I was drawn to these.

I like the pin backs and overall construction. Look to be period constructed pieces to me but it is only my opinion. I have not seen them prior to now. Wish they were maker marked.

The more people that have never seen them, the more I'm starting to like them.

Hello UK
For me these are all superb original shooting badges and you are lucky to have all 3 grades.

The coloured enamel on the mounting bar comes in at least 2 colours as I have seen both red and green examples.

I do have some somewhere. The suspension holes below would also have either a year date or type of weapon that was used...I can't remember.

Here's a group that was posted earlier
