Attractive - and actually fairly scarcely encountered! - 'Deutsches Reiterabzeichen der 3. Klasse (ie. 'in Bronze') being a maker- (ie. 'Steinhauer & Lück'-) marked example that comes stored in its period, two-pieced etui

This is an attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - Third Reich-period, so-called: 'Deutsches Reiterabzeichen der 3. Klasse (ie. 'in Bronze') being a neatly maker- (ie. 'Steinhauer & Lück'-) marked example came stored in its period, two-pieced etui and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem hardly ie. even never used nor worn-), condition. The neat - and very detailed - award comes mounted onto its functional (and totally unaltered!) pin and/or catch(set-up). It is a somewhat darker- (but nicely) bronze-coloured and/or pronounced specimen as was produced by the: 'Steinhauer & Lück'-company as based in the town of Lüdenscheid (something that is of course also clearly shown on the back of the badge). The badge also shows an additional (patent-pending)designation (that reads: 'Gesetzl.Gesch. Reichsverb. F.Z.u.Pr.d.Warmbl.' as can be seen of the pictures). The badge retains all of its bronze-toned finish and was I deem hardly (or even never) worn: it was most certainly never cleaned nor polished. The piece came stored in its period, two-pieced etui that shows the printed text: 'Reiter Bronze' printed onto its top. This etui comes in an overalll nicely preserved condition but does show some obvious handling-age (as can be noticed on the pictures). The piece is naturally a Third Reich- (ie. WWII-era-) badge and not a 1957-version (something that is easily noticed by the presence of the capital 'R'-character as visible on the bottom of the badge). Simply an attractive - and complete! -example of this fairly scarcely encountered and decorative TR-period award that is accordingly priced!
