The screenshot has a far high resolution, if you save it to your computer and zoom in, its easy to read. Im not interested in this badge or in proving this badge is period or not, not today and not in 50 years. I provided a source of what TWM experts thinks about this badge. If you are interested in this kind of TWM you should contact BrianL. He is also a user here:https://gmic.co.uk/profile/12700-bolewts58/ And ask him in what book its shown. Or you ask Demir, I guess he is the moderator Demir here, and ask him in what of his books its shown. Perhaps you will find a period photograph there, or Demir can provide one. https://gmic.co.uk/profile/4190-demir/ I recommend you to ask bolewts58/ first because Demirs last visit here seems to be a couple month ago. Here are some easy to read (I hope so. Did my best) screenshots with the most important posts in the thread: Edit: Checked the screenshots. If its still hard to read, it will help saving them to your computer and zoom in. Its more easy to read. Edit: The forum seems to resize the pictures, its still hard to read if you save them to your computer. Here a full resolution ones, easy to read at this page: https://imgur.com/a/btKUXFV https://imgur.com/a/0xzAAo3

This Question was asked and answered in the WAF thread of which I provided a screenshot. It is to be presumed a interwar piece, for people with a bigger purse.There is also an example shown there without wreath but with different colors, which is to be presumed for the same period and purpose.

Thanks for your post. I think your are right. A Oberst as leader of a Abteilung/Battalion would be quiet high. Also a Oberst serving under the command of a Major (Wilhelm Osiander) would be unexpected. Also FAR 33, 34 and Osilanders FAR 15 was located in the Saar area. Also have to admit, there are much more Reinhardts in the 1914 Rangliste. Seems to have been a bit late yesterday. Anyway, thank you!

Thanks for your reply. But I dont think it was related to Wilhelm Reinhard's units.

Cant judge this one. But a TWM with wreath seems to be period and no fantasy piece. Its in Demirs (Mod @ GMIC) book. Screenshot form WAF thread: https://imgur.com/a/qhtST6K

Recently this got posted at the WAF. Unfortunately, no one replied: From some photos we can see at least three different types, two which are fastened only on the chest and shoulders and the third also fastened on the thighs. 1) Of this type there appears to be a kind of large front hook with large "D" rings, only around the chest 2) Of this type the hook is replaced by two leather straps, chest and shoulders 3) This is the mod. Heinecke, large front buckle and side buckles that go down the legs

Good evening gent I'm looking for Information about the Feldartillerie-Abteilung Reinhardt which was Part of the Freikorps von Lettow-Vorbeck. In Tessins book only a Freiw.Feldartillerie-Rgt. Oslander, with three Abteilungen, as Part of the Division von Lettow des Garde-Kav.Schützen-Korps is mentioned. I guess in was one of these three Abteilungen. And Oslander is a spelling mistake, it's the here mentioned Wilhelm Osiander, commander of FAR 15. https://gmic.co.uk/topic/3189-an-incomplete-tale-of-two-osianders/ The 1914 Rangliste mention an Oberst Reinhardt as Manager of the Artilleriewerkstatt at Spandau. I guess it's him, because there is no other Reinhardt. Kind regrets and thanks

Lindbergh also had an undercut. But the Guy is imo a German NCO. Why should Lindberg wear a German uniform?

He became an award dealer, but not in the Weitze way. https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ritterschlag-auf-raten-a-1dad7a90-0002-0001-0000-000043065533 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/lametta-auf-raten-a-c9a303b4-0002-0001-0000-000043065640 Untranslatable by Browser, but with pictures.
