Badges for garde veteran (help needed please)

[Minen]

Hi,

Here are 3 badges for a same veteran in the Garde Korps (During the war, he was at the 2 GRzF).

These badges are they "official" or only for a veteran association ?

Do you know what is the signification of the numbers 25 and 50 (the years he spent in this association ?)

By advance, thank a lot.

The first badge :

My understanding is that the numbers '25'; '50'; etc do mean membership time.

hi stephan,

a beautiful and fairly complete ensemble depicting a long membership in a veteran's organization!

very fine quality!

i assume the stars are approx. 30mm? that seems to be the usual size, give or take a few mm...

I add a nice photo of the 2 GRzF :

And shoulder boards :

He was "Jahresklasse 1909" and he fought throughout the war (1916 Gefreiter, 1917 Unteroffizier, Februar 1918 Sergenten). Until 1917 he was in the 2 GRzF and then in the "Feld Rekrut Depot" of the 231 Jnfanterie Division. Here are extracts from his Milit?rpass :

Stephan,

That is a very nice set. While on the subject, you might like to see the very plain M07 shoulder strap from the same regiment.
