A forestry badge on the uniform ?

[Robert Noss]

Another portrait that I bought on sunday, just because I think the wearing of this badge seems a bit odd to me.

What do You think ?

Is it a forestry badge - an award ?

Is it right to wear it on the military uniform, even at the place of a combat award ?

Or do You think it is a Freikorps badge ? However I did not find a Freikorps badge that looks like this one.

Thanks in advance for Your infos.

Hi Robert, Nice picture, with a black wound badge too.

I have seen those badges before!!!

The deer with the cross between it's antlers comes from the legend of Saint Hubertus, who is now a patron Saint of the hunt.

so a kind of membership badge of a Hunting-club?

But I know also of a very special badge, designed by the emperor and awarded only to his hunting-compagnons, also royals. As I once readed that the king of the Netherlands had been awarded one, I have stored this fact somewhere in my mind. But as it was mainly to royals, I don't think it's this badge.....

Gents,

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

Kind regards,

Jacky
