ARTIFACT: This is a skier's badge from the United States Army's Recreational Center at Garmisch, Germany, at the foot of the Alps. Garmisch was joined with its neighbor Partenkirchen in order to make a new town for the 1936 Olympics venue, and afterward became the base camp for the elite "Edelweiss" troops. In 1945, the ski town became a U.S. military garrison. The insignia is beautifully enameled and has a Deco design.

VINTAGE: Circa 1946 (post-World War II).

SIZE: Approximately 1-1/16" in height and 15/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Gold-plated brass, enamel.

ATTACHMENT: Vertical safety-style pin with saddle.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. REL93 LHEX4/12 SGEX4/16

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The insignia shows some light wear and tarnish only.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
