Riders Badge in Bronze Maker Marked Lauer

Badge made of Alloy metal with a bronze color finish. Maker marked by “L. CHR. Lauer Nürnberg Berlin” and to the opposite side “Gesetzlich Geschütz” (protected by law). The badge is in very good, almost mint condition with virtually all bronze paint still intact. The badge is also complete with intact hinge, pin and catch assembly.

Rather high prestige badge in wartime Germany. Cavalry Soldiers often prefered to use the rider badge instead of the combat assault badge on the chest of their tunics!!
