Here is another Sports Badge witj the extreme long name

First Class Badge for Outstanding Contribution in Fitnes and Sport

wow ! The first type of Theese was according to D Reimers bokk made of Gold! Quite unusual to have a sports Badge/medal made of Gold.

The Earlier Gold issues was awarded in Three classes but everyone was gold, they just had the class engraved.

Theese later issued ones is still very well done and have beutiful boxes, and the class handengraved on the backside.

I wonder how many of theese badges that was awarded, I think they are among the higher rated ones in the area of Sports/Fitness ?

Firts the coimplete set with box, doc and medal/badge

And at last a closeup on the backside taken with a no-Epson scanner (sorry Rick)

Anyone got a silver and bronce class out there??

[Theodor]

I think 134 is number of the badge and 97 is a number of some document. This line reads Prot.... /from Protocol/, Resh..... /from Reshenie - Rsolution/. So I think the 97 is the document of some institution for the awarding

[Theodor]

as a sub-type - a badge like one of the shown above, but with dark blue color.
