The neat - and I deem somewhat early- (ie. eventually pre-war-period-) - SA-sports'-badge is as stated nicely maker-marked on its back with the clearly present makers'-designation that reads: 'Karl Hensler - Pforzheim' and that also bears the usually encountered inscription: 'Eigentum d. SA-Sportabzeichen Hauptstelle' (as is visible on the back of the sword as more often). The badge - which comes naturally mounted onto its functional- and totally unaltered pin- (ie. catch-) set-up - shows some moderate age, wear and/or staining but was never cleaned nor polished: the original- and/or (fairly bright-coloured- and truly golden-bronze-toned-) finish (and period-applied 'Brennlack') is still neatly preserved (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge is just a tiny bit (rust) stained ie. dirty caused by decades of storage. Simply an attractive example that is I deem accordingly priced!
