Ulsterman Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Stahlhelm : Landesfuhrer rank, I think. The upper badge is a Stahlhelm members' badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I believe the collar tabs are Freikorps, but don't know what rank. Obviously high :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The lower badge is Freikorps: Verdienstabzeichen for II. Marine-Brigade Wilhelmshaven (Ehrhardt). The upper section reads "VERDIENSTUMS" The middle section has a central oakleaf overlying a (l-r) black/white/red ribbon The lower section reads "VATERLAND" Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolewts58 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I'm resurrecting this thread to identify a couple of common fakes that were shown as genuine badges 10 years ago before these badges were identified as recent reproductions. These fake badges show the sail as "luffing" (flapping, i.e. with creases running through the sail) which would never happen with a ship sailing full bore with the wind. Ehrhardt, as an experienced sailor would never have approved a badge with such a technical error as this. So, obviously, whoever created the new die for this badge never sailed a sailboat. If compared to the genuine Ehrhardt badges and the gilt Wilhelmshaven badge, the mistake is obvious. There are other less obvious errors, which I don't want to identify, so as to not alert the fakers. Edited April 17, 2019 by bolewts58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hühnlein and Göring also wore this badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
