It has rather something to do with a car rally. The texts say:

XII.R.F.S.T.

30/31 MAI-BRESLAU-1931: 30th/31st May-Breslau (a city)-1931, thus date and place of the happening.

3. REICHSFAHRT: 3rd state ride (or rally).

There is a page on it in the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsfahrt
But the 1931 one in Breslau is not mentioned there.

They were rather long trips where the several brands could show what they were worth.

I am not going to translate all of that page (try Google translate or similar when you want), but it says also that while most of them were organised by the ADAC, some were by the Stahhelm, a more political organisation.

Could this one have been organised by an even more political organisation than Stahlhelm, the NSDAP?

If not, what is that thing doing on the eagle?

I believe it is to do with veterans of the silesian uprising who were in the Freicorps eagle banner similiar....though could be wrong . It is though obviously a veterans group as previously stated .

I would go for an ex-servicemen's (possibly Stahlhelm) rally. I think the clincher is the steel helmet seperimposed on the eagle

Good evening,

I have seen a similar badge for

"Stahlhelmbund 13. Treffen R.F.S.T. Berlin"

RFST for Reichsfrontsoldatentag.

1931 = 12th year after 1919

Regards

thanks all
any idea what it may be worth?

Breslau is now Wroclaw (Poland).
