Organisational Badges Unbekannte Enamel

[BURGERHAUS]

Gents Forgive me as I had an uncontollable urge to buy an enamel. This little bugger was described as a Sports badge. Any one have an example in their collection or seen one before? Reverse is unmarked. Thanks for looking. Regards Robert

Wheightlifting perhaps as evidenced by the legs of the Eagle?

Well after a quick search, all I came up with is that Tientsin is a city in China!!!!

Hi Robert,

I tried a search as well, but made no progression. Sport related doesn't seem too far fetched (i.e. Deutsches Sport Verein- or Verband), but then again it would be a separate organisation next to the DRL. How about Deutsches Segler Verband?

cheers

Germany was one of the treaty powers at Tientsin not positive of the dates. Noted 1899-1917.

Perhaps it is a commemorative for a serving soldiers organization.

Deutsches Seebatallione Verin? For the German Marine infantry?

Colleagues Many thanks for your imput. I have been pursuing the Sigler theme. Tiensin is the former name of a city on the coast of PRC. Perhaps this was where an event was held? I investigate furthur and report back. I still can't figure out the stange way the Eagle's legs are designed and its relevance to sailing however. Best regards Robert

Gents Firstly, I want to thank all of the good chaps who helped in the ID of this little badge. This is what I conclude to this point. Tientsin, a city now in the PRC, was occupied by the Japanese in 1937. Of course, Germany being an ally of Japan, had a pysical presence in that city. Along with that presence comes clubs and other organizations. Hence, Deutscher Sport Verein. As for the design, one esteemed member here noted its' distinct deisgn not being your standard German design and suggested it possibly being made by Chinese artists. Now when you see the attaching pin and plate you may agree. Not your standard higher quality set-up. Many thanks to all once again. Robert

Sorry for coming in so late Robert

Indeed a very interesting piece you found there & I would tend to agree with your assessment, a rare find I would think.

Cheers

Thought this an interesting badge and brought the topic back current to see if any additional information had surfaced.

Hi Joe,

 

These are quite controversial pieces these days. Quite a number of collectors believe them to be fantasy pieces while others believe them to be good.....

Thanks Don.

I saw one other example referred to as Deutscher Schulverein as already noted by GeorgeCL.

Same reverse set up.

Hi 

I have the option to purchase this badge. And I'm just wondering what to do. The badge appears in the Hüsken catalog under entry F3 01a, p. 414.

It also appears on sale from time to time.She was at Ratisbons and Ma Shops. It's at Helmut Waitze's.

I admit that I'm struggling with my thoughts....

Regards

This is a piece that you need to make your own decision on.  Many collectors believe these to be fantasy pieces that never existed during the Third Reich period.  However, others say that they are genuine....
