Has anyone seen one of these before?

Meisterschaft Schiessen - Wannsee 1939

I've seen the centre piece as stickpins before, but never with the enamel surround. I cannot decide whether it is two period badges that have been married up post war, or whether it is correct....

Any ideas?

Thanks
Don

Reverse. I forgot to say that it is a tad larger than a party badge....

Hi Don

Whilst I have not seen that configuration before I like it, the DJ did host many shooting competitions, I have a tinnie like medal dated 1939 from Berlin, probably not the same competition but from the same area. The centre is a stickpin as you say but without the date, I have seen a stickpin before without a date.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your reply & thoughts. It "feels" right if you know what I mean, certainly an unusual piece.

Thanks again
Don
