Troy Tempest Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Sorry if this is listed somewhere else, I typed in german sports badge but couldn't find a specific thread listed.

Troy Tempest Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Hardy! I remember that thread now, I was the last to post on it! I still haven't received my two DRA badges I was speaking about, but I have received another bronze DRA today. I examined the reverse and it appears different to the ones featured in the linked thread. Mine doesn't seem to have a street address, on one side it says L CHR LAUER N?RNBERG and on the other M. SCH. NO 33918. Any idea what that means at all please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Tempest Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Why Uwe, I was just going to ask you to post something explaining all of that for myself and everyone here! Thanks for doing that, and I guess the original DRA really should have been a DRAL? I am learning more about the DRA/DRL badges all the time! Now I have three and I know something about them...
