Bavarian Sport-Leistungs Abzeichen in Silver

[kasle]

Hi,

I would like to know your opinions about this Bavarian Sport-Leistungs Abzeichen in Silver. Dimensions cca 30 x 40 mm.
Is it 1st version (Fassung) awarded only between 1949 -51, as I suppose?
Thank you in advance for any info.

I would say so. The maker Lauer Nürnberg uses the same style hook on their early Bundesverdienstkreuz 1st class. 

Anyways thats a very nice badge!

Hi kasle,

yes, this is the first small badge, 1949 - 1951.

There are two different badges with different needle systems:

Thanks for info. The left one looks really better, I must say.

Is there also a price difference between these two variants?

[speedytop]

No, not really.

That is very nice Uwe. I much prefer the 'Traditional/formal' style award certificate to the 'Modern' type. Here's mine:     (The Badges are shown above as 'The final version').

Not sure if Ribbon Bars and Miniature Medals were ever sactioned for the Bayerische Sport- Leistungs-Abzeichen. As the Badges are no longer awarded, I'm sure it is pretty academic. 

Here are a couple of examples that have been available on e-Bay Germany for a few years now:

Just to add. Bronze and Gold versions of the above are also encountered.
