    I also missed this ...........

    Such skull things can happen.

    Closer view of the sleeve "badge":

    Unfortunately, the lack of quality of the picture unables to confirm the existence of any sleeve patch on the picture.

    Well, last week I found this.

    A Meissen plate (to go with the Meissen Wehrwolf medallion). :cheers:

    ... and here is the pre 1907 Degen I have to go with the plate.

    This can be another interesting skull.....Thoughts?

    It appears to be shaped like the flamethrower-regiment skull, and its mounted on a field-gray cloth oval. It's likely this man is a veteran of the Garde-Reserve-Pionier-Regiment.

    It's a Freikorps insignia, but I don't know which one. What's the badge under the EKI?

    Its a navy wound badge, the other badge with the EK1 is the one given to the guys for a years service in the Freikorps Ehrhardt. Nice selection of stuff on the guy.

    The bone shapes look very similar to those of the black skull ....... slightly different from the FW TK.

    Ahh yes.... the rareast of the rare... the Albino Version of the Black Skull :-)))))

    So, this former naval officer is wearing insignia for at least three different Freikorps.

    He has 2 Erhardt badges, the sleeve unit badge and the award next to his EK1. Collar badges are I assume a post Erhardt service...

    Would be interesting to know his career...

    There must also have been a number of "Walts" around back then, wearing things to impress the guys in the Pub...

    Thomas, not all men of the Brigade Ehrhardt had such skulls on their sleeve. I hoped to get some infomations, because I read they had a Sturmkompanie and they had a Flammenwerferzug. Freikorps Flammenwerfer badge? Badge of the Sturmkompanie? .

    PS: Here is the complete photo, which was posted in another forum before.

    I will try to manage a sort of multi-answer:

    The picture was shot in Berlin during the Kapp-Putsch in March 1920. Ehrhardt is identified with the x under it.

    The skull was the insignia of the Sturmkompagnie of the Brigade Ehrhadt.

    Many insignias were worn on Freikorps uniforms as many smaller units were subordinated to a bigger unit belonging to a much larger group. Here you can read it upwards as Sturmkompagnie of the Brigade Ehrhardt in the GKSD.

    A navy wounded badge.
