1937 SS Sharpshooter Badge – Otto Gahr – Cupal

Product Description: Offered here is an exceptionally rare and highly desirable SS Sharpshooter Badge 1937, manufactured by the renowned Otto Gahr of Munich, one of the most prestigious silversmiths of the Third Reich. Known for producing high-end SS regalia, Gahr’s craftsmanship is unmistakable in this badge, which is constructed from Cupal (a copper-aluminum composite), ensuring both durability and a striking appearance. The design features a bold, raised SS runic emblem above a finely detailed target, symbolizing the elite marksmanship required to earn this coveted award. The silvered finish remains well-preserved, showing only minimal wear, while the details remain crisp and sharp, highlighting the superior quality of Gahr’s work.

The reverse is properly marked “Otto Gahr”, as expected for this early issue, and retains its original pin and hinge assembly, both of which remain fully intact and functional. Unlike many examples that have suffered repairs or heavy wear, this badge has no signs of damage or alteration, making it a true investment-grade collectible.

SS Sharpshooter Badges by Otto Gahr are extremely rare, as they were awarded only to a select group of marksmen within the SS, making surviving examples difficult to find—especially in this condition. This is a keeper-worthy piece of SS insignia, ideal for serious collectors of elite Third Reich awards.

Condition: Excellent+ – A rare opportunity to own a true SS marksmanship relic!
