Attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - so-called: 'Leistungs- abzeichen des Standschützenverband Tirol-Vorarlberg', being a (high-quality-produced-) so-called: 'Gauleistungsabzeichen in Gold für Pistole - 1943'

This is a very attractive - and actually not that easily encountered and truly nicely enamelled! - so-called: 'Leistungsabzeichen des Standschützenverband Tirol-Vorarlberg', being a (IMO high-quality-produced-) so-called: 'Gauleistungsabzeichen in Gold für Pistole - 1943', that comes in a minimally worn-, albeit fully undamaged, condition. The badge - which is void of any makers'-designation as more often - comes naturally mounted on its (fully functional- and/or totally unaltered-) pin-/catch set-up (see pictures). It retains a fully undamaged, golden-toned finish and has as stated above an undamaged, enamelled surface. These attractive badges were awarded (in similar form and/or model) from 1941 onwards and are actually not that commonly encountered. The extensive series is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken Abzeichen-Katalog' wherein this particular example is referenced under the unique number: 'A61U' and given an estimated value of 220 Eu. This example originates from a German flea-market and was never before in a collection. IMO did I price this attractive and/or nicely preserved-, 'high-quality-produced' example of an: 'Gauleistungsabzeichen in Gold für Pistole - 1943' accordingly!
