Superb, enamelled lapel-pin: 'Der Stahlhelm' - Bund der Frontsoldaten (Sta) - Eintrittsabzeichen 1924' being a nicely engraved example that comes in an overall very nice- (and/or fully undamaged!), condition

This is a truly attractive 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: '1924' and that comes in an overall very nice- (and/or fully undamaged- and/or untouched!), condition. The badge on offer here is a so-called: 'Eintrittsabzeichen 1924' (or 'entry-badge') which shows a nicely engraved text ie. date on its back that reads: 'IV.Mi. 848. - 11.2.1924' (as can be seen on the pictures): something that is more often the case with these somewhat later-dated '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 as is more often encountered on these attractive SH-membership-badges. The lapel-pin comes naturally also mounted onto its fully functional pin- ie. catch(-set-up). Moreover, does this example shows an additional 'A'-marking on its back (as can be noticed on the pictures). A similar example is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken'-lapel-pin catalogue, wherein it is given a unique reference-number (4107N) and an estimated value of 140 Eu. I deem this is an attractive and most certainly decorative - and fairly early-period! - badge which I have priced according to its fully untouched and/or minimally tarnished condition!
