    Hello Gents,

    I have 2 DRL sports badges here, both marked with

    'D.R.G.M 35269' 'Wernstein Jena'

    Now one is Magnetic and the other is not....

    First up is the Brass DRL badge...

    Is this usual? or is one for the Kreigsmarine?

    All comments appreciated!

    Many thanks

    Paul

    Hello there,

    I seem to have the exact same brass version, same pin, catch, maker mark and finish. I think mine was a gold version at one time (some colouring left on reverse) but I could be mistaken. My version is also non-magnetic and die-struck. I think these ones are good as I purchased it from a highly respected antique shop in Edmonton and it has the quality of an early piece (but I think most of these badges are early pieces). Any more info is welcome!

    THanks,

    Pat

    and the reverse of my match to the first badge posted, with maker mark D.R.G.M. 35269 and Wernstein JFN followed by what I think is a triangle, not the letter "A". I think yours is a triangle after the N as well, and JFN, not JENA. I could be wrong, but any info is helpful to the both of us. In person the finish that remains on the reverse is a gold colour, so I am wondering if this was a gold issue or bronze issue?

    Cheers,

    Pat
