Attractive, enamelled lapel-pin: 'Der Stahlhelm' - Bund der Frontsoldaten (Sta) - Eintrittsabzeichen 1931' which is nicely engraved: 'VII Ho 88' and dated: '14.4.31' and that comes in an overall nice (and/or fully undamaged!), condition

This is an attractive example of a neatly silver- (ie. 'Buntmetall'-) based and/or enamelled lapel-pin (aka: 'Eintrittsabzeichen') that was worn by a member of the organisation: 'Der Stahlhelm' - Bund der Frontsoldaten (Sta)' being an example that was issued in the year: '1931' and that comes in an overall nice and/or fully undamaged- and untouched, condition. The badge on offer here is a so-called: 'Eintrittsabzeichen 1931' (or 'entry-badge') which is nicely engraved (with the unit-abbreviation: 'VII Ho 88') and/or dated: '14.4.31' on its back (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge - which truly shows no enamel damage whatsoever - has I deem never been cleaned nor polished and still retains a nice and minimally darkened- (ie. tarnished) age-patina. It is also neatly maker-marked with a logo ('STH') and bears the 'Ges.Gesch.'-patent-pending mark as is more often encountered on these attractive SH-membership-badges. Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this example also bears the engraved name- ie. unit that reads: 'VII Ho 88'. It comes naturally also mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch(-set-up). A similar example is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken'-lapel-pin catalogue, wherein it is given a unique reference-number (4107U) and an estimated value of 120 Eu. I deem this is an attractive and most certainly decorative badge which I have priced according to its fully untouched and minimally tarnished condition!
