Hello,

I need your help - maybe someone can tell me which unit wear this small cap-eagle!?

Thank you for any help you can give me!

Best regards,

Hello Jens!

Isn't that a Schwedter-adler, worn as a tradition badge by assorted cavalry units in WW2 (Kavallerie-Regiment Mitte?)? Which specific unit it commemorates has slipped out of my mind at the moment though.

Hello Jonas,

thanks for your answer, but I think it is not a Schwedter-Adler: armytradbadges-kr6.jpg 500 × 379 Pixel

Hi Jens,

Oh,oh very small !! and very difficult to say.

But, during WW I there are in the Empire only 7officials badges.

For Karpathenkorps : Alpen-Korps : Motorradfaher : M.G.scharfscützen : Flammenwerfer and Bayer 1916 Neue Ruszeichnungs.

Never see this eagle (so small). But hope someone can help you. I'm very curious.

Hi Philippe,

yes - very difficult to say!

On the eagles-breast are the letters "FRW", so definitely Prussian.

Hopefully someone knows something about!

Thank & best regards,

Jens

p.s.: a picture with the eagle (no informations on the picture!):

Hello Jens!

Would the 1st Brandenburg Dragoons fit the bill? From a quick glance, there also seems to be a connection to the 6. Kavallerie-Regiment. I can honestly confess that I don't know very much about this badge, so I'm very curious too.

Hi Jonas,

thanks for your answer! The cap-eagle from the 1. Brandenburg. Dragoner-Rgt. Nr.2 is a little different: Tradition Badges

But thanks for your idea!

Beamter? Forstbeamter?

Hi Sergeant 08,

yes - that's exact the eagle! Beamter? Forstbeamter? Maybe!?

Also possible Bergbau (mining) ???

Thanks a lot for your help!

That was my first thought! Not sure, the eagle looked a little bit different..... Edited October 9, 2010 by Sergeant 08

Hear is the miners one....

I guess it all depends on what that thing in the left claw is....
