German WWII Turnerbund Meeting Badge-This meeting was held in Cologne as the 14th Deutsches Turnfest or Gym meet. It is made of a die struck, tombak base that has a toned silver wash. The obverse features a German Wehrmacht National Eagle with closed wings above a shield and the twin spires of the Cologne cathedral and is again above a bannered "14. Deutsch Turnfest Koln 1928". The reverse shows a flat back with a soldered round plate pin that functions as intended. The reverse is slightly discolored near the pin and near the bottom of the badge. It looks like a label was removed from the pin. Otherwise, this is in very good condition.
