Elmar Lang Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hello,in my opinion, observing the type of pin on the reverse, I think that the badge should be post-1945, possibly to substitute the awards of the German Reiterabzeichen from III Reich distributed after tha Anschlu? of 1938.Best wishes,Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The needle block is solid and the needle is fluted (standards not found on German post war badges)Hardy Edited March 3, 2009 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hello,my opinion comes from the fact that the needle looks closely to those used by Souval of Vienna for his post-1945 products.Let's not forget that Souval, besides his sinister fame in the field of III Reich copies, was the supplier (before 1918) of the Milit?rverdienstkreuz of 1st and 2nd Class: its workmanship was of the highest level.Best wishes,Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Enzo, I agree, most likely a Souval. I would like to see some other ?sterreichische Reiterabzeichen and find out more about its history.Question: is it the post-war (WWII) equivalent to the German Reiterabzeichen or did it exist before 1938?Thanks again, Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
