Kaiserreich Gauturnfest Bodenbach 29.8.1897 n.w.b. Gau

In a very good condition a district gymnastics festival Bodenbach 1897

Frontside: Turnvater Jan (Friedrich Ludwig Jahn) between two flags above a crest (Bodenbach?) with the Turnerkreuz (4 F's). On all sides Oakleaves. Ribbons below XII. Gauturnfest Bodenbach 29.8.1897 N.W.B. Gau.

Not sure which Bodenbach this is about. Bodenbach in (NWB) Nordwest Bohemia which was then Autria-Hungaria or the Bodenbach in Prussian kingdom. I think it is the latter because the turnerkreuz was not in use in this form in Austria-Hungaria.

Backside: no maker marking. The badge has three soldering points and has no safety pin. The badge is slightly curved so it could be attached to something else.
