Naxos Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 found this image on ebay - I thought it would be of interest to some forum members - I never seen a KAMPFWAGENABTEILUNG cufftitle before.Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 That and the skull above it are Freikorps insignia. See pages 110 and 111 of Charles Woolley's "German Uniforms, Insignia & Equipment 1918-1923."This armored car unit was active in Berlin 1919.

rast Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The cuff title and skull badge were not limited to Kokampf in Berlin, they were also worn by personnel of the Leichte Kampfwagenz?ge auf the emerging Reichswehrbrigaden from mid-1919 to end of 1920. Also Gardekavallerie-Sch?tzen-Div and Marine-Div armoured car crews wore these, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Noss Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Very nice portrait.I once had one portrait like this one, even a little bit better cause mine was an officer with IC 1st class.I traded that portrait against 3 very good SS-portraits and that was already about 10 years ago.These are very very rare, wonder how much the auction will bring.Kind regardsRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Typical non-regulation Provisional Reichsheer uniform. He's got the official "string bean" 1919/20 shoulder cords, but not the updated cap insignia.These are silver "beans" for officers. Enlisted ranks had gray ones--What Freikorps badges are stuck on your private's collar Litzen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
