Claudio Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Rick,It looks very much like a Freikorps badge: Bug-Stern der Schutztruppe Bug (Niemann's calogue 2.01.16), since the visor cap with the cocarde and wreath is definitely post WWI, maybe mid-late twenties??? ...just only my guess.Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) I mean it looks like this... Germans were quite quick and prolific in creating new freikorps' badges! Maybe this was already around in 1920! Could be? Edited September 29, 2005 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
