Description:.1937 pattern, die-struck bronze award. Rare Unmarked PROBE-Tagged example by an unknown maker no doubt submitted for approval early in 1936-37. Scarce to see unmarked and we’ve never seen a Probe-tagged example before; Mint                               

Background:  Originally introduced in 1913 as the DRA badge, this was modified in 1933 to the DRL badge and again in 1937 with the addition of the swastika. The award was intended as an incentive for physical training, and was issued to both males and females between 18 and 32 years old who met the required criteria for an eight year period, or those between the ages of 32 to 40 who met the criteria over a twelve month period.
