Grenzschutz Bromberg Sleeve Badge: Freikorps

[Bds Bill]

Hi All,

I'd like to stimulate a little discussion on this little known and quite rare sleeve badge worn by members of Batallion 3 of the Grenzschutz Bromberg in 1919 while defending against Polish incursions. A few years ago I acquired one of these and have been trying to find other examples for comparison without success. There is one example for sale on Helmut Weitze's website, but it does not have the patina that mine has. I will say that the detailling on both mine and Helmut's is excellent. I've put front and reverse pics for review. All opinions and comments are welcome and will be respected. Thanks in advance!
