Rarely seen, enamelled lapel-pin: 'Der Stahlhelm' - Bund der Frontsoldaten (Sta) - Eintrittsabzeichen 1922' being a period-engraved example that comes in an overall very nicely preserved condition

This is an attractive - quite early-period and actually rarely seen! - example of a neatly 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: '1922' and that comes in an overall nice and/or fully undamaged- and/or untouched, condition. The badge on offer here is a so-called: 'Eintrittsabzeichen 1922' (or 'entry-badge') which shows an engraved numeral ie. date (that reads: 'VI.Wf. 32 - 10-3-1922') on its back (as can be seen on the pictures): something that is more often the case with these attractive 'Der Stahlhelm Eintrittsabzeichen'. The badge - which truly shows no enamel damage whatsoever - has I deem never been cleaned nor polished and still retains a superb and minimally darkened- (ie. tarnished) age-patina. It is also neatly maker-marked with a logo ('STH') and bears the usual: 'Ges.Gesch.'-patent-pending mark: moreover, does it show a stamped capital 'A'-character as is more often encountered on these attractive SH-membership-badges (as can be noticed on the pictures). The lapel-pin comes naturally also mounted onto its fully 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 (4107L) and as estimated value of 300 Eu. I deem this is an attractive - very early-period and most certainly decorative - badge which I have priced according to its fully untouched and/or just minimally tarnished condition!
