GRA Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamburg 76 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. Philippe:beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) 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!): dragon.jpg - Rozmiar oryginalny - Fotosik.pl Edited October 4, 2010 by KIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. /Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
