Here are a few pics of my new Schlageter Badge that i purchased from Craig. It is unusual due to it being oval and having a solid back. Most were made as Tinnies and rectangle in shape. This badge is die struck and looks award quailty. Anyone have any ideas?

The Maker is Paulmann & Crone who also made the Tinnie version.

Erich,
Nice badge, I have never seen this one . Imho your badge is a tinnie inspite of the solid back and and some simularitiy of the shape of the official awards. See this link and compare.
Cheers,
Benten

Thanks Benten, I agree that it is a Tinnie. Either way it is not one that's seen often.

Looks like brass because it has a nice green patina as you can see in the pic.

If I remember correctly the enterprising tinnie manufacturers produced several different designs for the same rally.
