hirevr13 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Glad to see a few other horse badge guys. I have recently started chasing these. On the first page someone mentions they don't like the S & L in post 4. It looks fine. Not uncommon for S & L's to have poor detail on the back. The pin is a replacement.

Hi Eric, great to have you here. Regarding the the Reiterabzeichen in #4, it's not the poor details on the back of the badge that bothers me - it's the material it is casted in, as well as the pin set-up that makes me believe it is a post-war production. In that, the badge is identical to early post-war Reiter and Fahrerabzeichen w/o the ®. I do not believe that it is a fake - I believe however, that it may be an early post-war production badge by Steinhauer & Lück (perhaps they made some with and the rest w/o the ®). I will post some comparison shots later. Edited August 26, 2009 by Naxos
Naxos Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 The material is not like the pre-war bronze nor is it zinc - besides the needle being longer on one, it is the same set-up right down to the pin holding the needle in place.

Hardy, A very interesting and informative thread. I wasn't aware of the info on what grade of badge would be worn on a cavalry tunic. Here are pictures of my bronze Lauer badge which came on my third cavalry tunic some years ago. I now need to look for a silver one. Gold is probably inaccessable due to rarety and price. Regards, Gordon
Naxos Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Gordon, nice specimen with lots of patina! Gordon if your tunic is from a member of an Aufklärungs-Abteilung (Recce = yellow piping) and he did not belong to a cavalry unit before joining the recce, the Reiterabzeichen in Bronze is fine.
