Description
Something that rarely pops up is the early pre Third Reich symbol insignia. This example dated 1932 is very early, this sports patch was worn by the National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise (Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen, abbreviated NSRL), the NSRL was the umbrella organization for sports and physical education in Nazi Germany. The NSRL was known as the German League of the Reich for Physical Exercise until 1938. The organization was expanded to Austria after that country’s annexation by Nazi Germany. This example is period worn and the also comes with the period post card of this same insignia in wear.
