The Earliest Nürburgring Badge?
. . . from 1927 (?) --- the year The Track first opened.
Basic elements, all there . . . Schloss Nürburg, the promontory, hills surrounding . . . just add the sunburst, timer's ring-and-pointer, paint green. 'Winged-wheel' below is ADAC's logo --- Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club. Very bitchin'
Deschler and Sohn, München 9 --- Deschler and Son, Munich 9
Too obscure (I hope) to be properly (?) reproduced . . .

Bought one of their R-replica steering wheels for my car --- very nice. Noticed this Nürburgring badge on their site, otherwise --- no affiliation . . .
Notice . . .
1) . . . chromey/smooth/highly-polished finish to all metal surfaces
2) . . . apparent relief between 'enamel' and metal
3) . . . heavily-textured back . . .
4) . . . and nothing stamped --- no Maker's mark

Another Lesser Vintage Badge . . .
. . . from the late 90's? (Only have this shot --- sorry.)
Unsure what the numbers mean . . .
MS PRINT 07141 85100
0760
Maybe a part number (?) on top --- or an 'edition' or 'run' identifier (?) --- with an individual sequence number on the 2nd line (?)
UPDATE: Turns out the current German Merchandise licensee's badge has a similar identification on the back of its product --- see post #13

Another Older Badge . . . .
. . . that I've come across.
More crummy photos, but notice . . .
1) . . . the 'G's on the front
2) . . . the condition of the green enamel
3) . . . the tabs
4) . . . the Maker's mark --- a stamped non-Donner?
