SA Defence Badge in Bronze by W. Redo
Type III - SA-Wehrabzeichen in Bronze by W. Redo of Saarlautern. On January 19, 1939, the SA Sports Badge was transformed into the SA Defense Badge (SA-Wehrabzeichen). This new badge was no longer about sports but was an achievement badge. It is constructed out of a die stamped steel base that has been bronze washed and finished in a lacquer coating. The obverse depicts an upright vertical broad sword, in front of a mobile swastika, which is surrounded by an eight-piece laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at both sides. The semi-hollow back reverse is maker marked: “W. Redo Saarlautern” and features the Type III inscription, (1939-44): “Eigentum d. Obdersten SA Führung” (Property of the SA Supreme Command). The pin, hinge and catch assembly are all in well working condition. Minor loss to the finish. It measures 1 13/16 inches wide by 2 5/16 inches tall.
