Authentic WW2 German NSDAP 1935 NATIONAL SEA TRAVEL DAY / COMMEMORATIVE BADGE

(Erinnerungsabzeichen) An injection molded aluminum badge in the form of a horizontal oval, 45x41mm in size. To its top is a soaring eagle clutching a wreathed, mobile swastika in its talons. To either side of the swastika is scrolled “Seefahrt” (Seafaring) and “Ist Not” (Is Necessary). The base of an anchor may be seen to the base of the surround, with “Tag Der Deutschen” (Day Of German) and “Seefahrt 25.26.5.1935” (Seafaring 25.26.5.1935) scrolled to either side. The central image on the badge is that of a three-quarter profiled, three-mast sailing vessel, under sail on rough seas. To the reverse is a crimped horizontal pin-back device. A classic metal insignia from the third reich in great condition with its old museum/collection tag still present.
