JBFloyd Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This is a very well-made badge, in silver and enamels (60x56mm). It certainly reminds me of badges of the Baltisches Landeswehr or 17.Armee Korps, but it carries Finnish maker's marks below the pin-catch (VI/(crown)/813H/(indistinct)/L5).What appears to be enamel damage is actually some glue residue that has since cleaned off.It doesn't show up in my Freikorps sources or my Finnish sources. Can anyone shed light on this piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The pin and hook on the shield look very German, the wreath has a Finnish stamp.Could the two parts be "Married"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
