Guest Rick Research Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Not Freikorps-- one of the many right-wing-patriotic-sliding-towards-Nazi associations' membership card. Don't know how to put a price on something like this, since I've never seen another one.Photo doesn't appear to have anything to do with it-- looks more 18 than 35, and in some sort of "patriotic" uniform from the 1920s-- not clear and close up enough to say more at this point.
Bds Bill Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Hello all,These items came from my personal collection and were recently sold. The DSTB ID fetched USD $35.00, the photo postcard USD $25.00. The DSTB was, as Rick has indicated, one right-wing association among many during the early years of Weimar, with some ties to the early Nazi Party in Bavaria. The postcard is an early photo of what I believe to be a member of a Freikorps or Einwohnerwehr - note the armband. Unfortunately, the angle of the photo does not allow for a positive identification from the armband of the unit to which he belonged. I would date this photo postcard somewhere between about 1918 and 1921.Best,Bds BillBill Bradley
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Am i right in thinking that the govt tolerated Freikorps were abolished and the members all craweled under rocks like this association?
