Extremely rare Ritterschaft der Deutschen Ehrenlegion Badge – B.H. Mayer, Pforzheim

Multi-color enamel Ritterschaft der Deutschen Ehrenlegion Badge made by B.H. Mayer. The Deutsche Ehrenlegion (66), founded in July 1922 by Rudolf Hering in Buxheim an der Iller, has 9,000 members. Despite its different insignia, it appears to be identical to the Ritterschaft der deutschen Ehrenlegion (67), which is under the patronage of Ludendorff and is located at Motzstraße 47, Berlin-Wilmersdorf, as both organizations have the same membership figures, the same founder, and the same year of foundation. We added some period information to the photo’s. The first example of this badge we have ever seen and highly desirebale because of the political connection during the kampfzeit! Premium piece that we assure only 1 or 2 collectors may have ever encountred.
