Sergeant 08

I think, I will buy one for a comparison. PS: I found a first mistake. Count the teeth!

The quality of fakes like this one is very poor.

Some guys kill with the rifle, others with the parasol !

Thomas, it is an amazing theory about the black skull! Thanks so far for your thoughts and the photos.

1923

I'm still searching for a payable flag. Mission impossible! Until then I can only show a Wehrwolf flag plaque!

Another photo which shows, that not everything was confirm to the rules.

Freikorps Schwarze Jaeger! I think we had already discussed the photo in another forum. The black skull on the cap looks similar like the Italian pattern (could be dagger in the teeth?).

Really interesting, Thomas! Why? I have seen comparable skulls during last months. In one auction a skull on an armband and the seller stated it is Freikorps!

Here are more informations! Enjoy the sound! http://www.erstes-ga...Geschichte9.htm

Robin, I know your skull. That is why I said, it could be interesting for some other collectors. My first thought was the same. It looks similar, but I think the skull in the picture has a jaw. And your skull is a jawless skull. But who knows? Maybe only "künstlerische Freiheit"? Look at the skull of the Brüssow Freikorps! Unusual picture, I think. And I could say, my skull is comparable to the armshield next to the Reinhard badge! Not the same, but similar. Looking for answers is a part of the hobby. It is a fascinating hobby, isn't it?

Yes, soldiers of the 1.Garde Regiment zu Fuss fought in Berlin in the Freikorps Potsdam.

Really? I read members of 1.Garde Regiment zu Fuss fought in different Freikorps (Grenzschutz Ost etc.) after ww1. But if they fought in other Freikorps, why they had an own skull badge?

1.Garde Regiment zu Fuss?

Bottom left! Is the skull, next to the Freiwilligen-Regiment Reinhard shield badge, a skull armshield? I'm not sure, what is the lettering under this skull?

I still try to find out what kind of skull this one is. It has a size like an armshield. I found this table of Abzeichen von Freiwilligen Korps and I thought it could be interesting for some other collectors, too. Look at the different skull patterns!

No, I'm not interested in this photo. A chance for another collector.

Thomas, you was right! The seller split the lot of flamethrower photos. Now he sells a photo with the same guys in Montigny, that were in my photo in #271.

Right! And I'm watching the market daily.

Robin, did you notice? Somebody tries to sell his SWJ collection

As I said, they had nice things.

Masonic and SWJ? They had nice items! Why not? I think, we will not find answers for all of our questions. But we can try it! Btw, did you see new interesting SWJ stuff in this year, Robin?

Thoughts?
