Description

German WWII Set of 3 DRL Stickpins-These three are in excellent shape. Each one sits on a knurled pin. We have one each in bronze, silver and gold. This DRA badge is for the predecessor of the DRL. It is literally identical to the DRL sports badges, only the monogram reads DRA and there is no swastika. Each one of these retains the majority of its finish, and has fine details. A gorgeous set that would look great on anyone's tunic display. $175History: The DRA stood for the Issuing Organization- The 'Deutscher Reichs-Ausschuss' (German Nat. Committee for Physical Training). The DRA presented the DRA Badges from 1914 – 1933 in three grades (Bronze, Silver & Gold) depending upon an individual's score on a physical test. This badge is considered the 1st version of the badge. In 1933 the organization's name was changed to Deutscher Reichsbund fur Leibesubungen, so the badge was changed to read DRL (2nd version) and from 1937-1945 the Party swastika was added at the bottom (3rd version).
