Excellent SA sports badge in gold. Pommell of the sword is bent out just a bit (Could be bent back in but I touch nothing). Some minor gilt loss in spots showing the underlying brass (See photos). Otherwise, a rare badge in fine condition. Pin and catch are in great shape. Well marked on reverse and numbered 234347. The high number is explained by the fact that the gold series was not numbered separately fro the lower grades so the previous and following numbers may have been bronze. A fine example of a scarce medal.
