About this piece

The Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF) was the unified organization of German workers in the Third Reich – founded in 1933 after the dissolution of the free trade unions. With over 25 million members, it was the largest mass organization of the Nazi state. Sports shirt badges with eagle and swastika were worn at sporting events and exercises. The notice "gesetzlich geschützt" (legally protected) on the badge is a manufacturer's trademark protection – an authentic characteristic of original productions and an important authenticity feature for collectors. The combination of SS/DAF on a sports shirt badge is unusual and makes this piece an interesting research object. Also available: SS Sports Shirt Badge Swastika (Item No. 33.724) and SS Armband (Item No. 33.725).
