Chris Boonzaier Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi, I always thought the Oakleaves shown here were a Leipzig Freikorps? Interesting badge seems to have had a black backing added... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Could this be Freikorps von Pfeffer ? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Freikorps-von-Pfeffer-Kragen-Abzeichen-Eichenlaub-mit-A-um-1919-/330821169080?pt=Militaria&hash=item4d067a6fb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 OK, I see it is not the Zeitfreiwilligen Regiment Leipzig, totally different badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hello gentlmen! By the way... I still need help in ID of this nice machine gun badge. Inside I can read "Sch". Thank you very much in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Hello gentlmen! By the way... I still need help in ID of this nice machine gun badge. Inside I can read "Sch". As far I can recognize the shoulder strap, the unit probably is the 4th bavarian Reichswehr-Inf.Rgt.46. But what does "Sch" mean? Thank you very much in advance Edited November 6, 2012 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi, maybe "Schütze"? As opposed to "Schlitten Träger" or Ammo tin carrier..... i.e. more a qualification than a unit badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi Chris! That´s possible. But I think more, the "Sch".could the initials of a Freikorps-leader. The RW-Inf.Rgt.46 was set-up by soldiers of the the following Freikorps: Bamberg, Eiserne Schar Berthold and Bayreuth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
