norwest78 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I'm afraid I don't recognize the badge beneath the pilot badge in this photo that I have. Any ideas?
herr Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hey KevinPossibly a WWI badge of some sort ?cheersHerr
Paul R Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hey KevinPossibly a WWI badge of some sort ?cheersHerrIt is... but I forgot what it is. Maybe Rick could tell us?
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 It is nothing official from any country that I recognize. From the lack of WW2 awards on anybody visible, this appears to be taken in the late 1930s. Any name/date/place on back?He has a heck of a lot of presumably WW1 ribbons and is quite old to have no 1914 EK1... by which I'd guess he's an Austrian and this is 1938/39.
speedytop Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hi,very interesting, because that is the:"?sterreichische Sport- und Turnabzeichen" (?STA),the Austrian sports badge.http://www.bewegung.ac.at/download/22/sub0/22_1106_3426.pdfIt must be a picture direct after the reunion!RegardsUwe
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Uwe, you always amaze me! But I have pretty good instincts, eh? :rolleyes:
speedytop Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hi Rick,we, both together, are actually unbeatable !Kind RegardsUwe
Scott Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Geez - that officer looks like a mean SOB. The airman in the background seems to be dancing the hokey-pokey... Edited August 11, 2008 by Scott
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I agree. The Old Eagle still has his "stare" which is why I am hoping there is a NAME on back so he can be identified. I can't make out any of the ribbons or his rank (Major or higher) so it will need a name.Must have been hard learning to goose step from scratch! :cheeky:
norwest78 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 You guys are GOOD. Rick, I'm sorry but the back only says "Agfa." I doubt that's his name.BTW, does anybody have a photo of this sports badge?Thanks and regards,Kevin
speedytop Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hi Kevin,the link doesn't work?Than please see here:http://www.oesta.at/OESTA/oesta_abzeichen.htmland/or here:http://www.sitecenter.dk/corysan/duelighedstegnside2/RegardsUwe
