SA Stormtroopers Sports Badge for war disabled marked 1/52 with bellied pin with barrel hinge setup, this badge is in the gilt or gold grade and retains its nicely preserved finish: it just shows some minor age and a small oxidation on the top of oak leaves wreath with slight missing of the coating.

It is an extremely rare badge made in a bronze alloy (not zinc as normally) and this example is plated with gold, not bronze, as usual, but in the archives on the internet, the original badges in gilding are really exist, and maybe it's just a luxury version of regular badge due this award has no grades.  However, Niemann in his book claims that the badges were made in three grades.
