Stogieman Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 What is the sleeve badge on that overcoat Brian?
Claudio Posted September 29, 2005 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
Glenn J Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Claudio, Rick,Oberstleutnant Ernst Kaether is wearing the uniform of Reichswehr-Infanterie-Regiment 29. The photograph dates from late 1919 to late 1920.RegardsGlenn
Claudio Posted September 29, 2005 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
