Alexandre Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Hello Gentlemen, I dont recognize these awards in red circles of Carl Eduard Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha. Another question, i never seen before this collar tab,anyone can help me ? picture from bundesarchiv thx in advance Cheers.
Ulsterman Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Stahlhelm : Landesfuhrer rank, I think. The upper badge is a Stahlhelm members' badge.
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Wow......great picture !!! Please what is the correct name for the flying award he is wearing??? OEK number?
Tom Y Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I believe the collar tabs are Freikorps, but don't know what rank. Obviously high :rolleyes:
Mike K Posted August 26, 2009 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
Alexandre Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Hello Gentlemen, I made a little research and found this collar tab in www.uniforminsignia.net there is the only one that is more close with collar tab in the photo,but without the white piece. the rank is bundesführer. a honorary rank maybe?? Cheers
sambolini Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Wow......great picture !!! Please what is the correct name for the flying award he is wearing??? OEK number? Hi, It would seem this is a flying club badge- see here in WARLORD'S thread:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5516&st=20
Ulieb Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hallo, the lower badge is "Verdienstabzeichen II. Marinebrigade". Some pieces from the Marinebrigade out of my collection. Regard Uli
HeikoGrusdat Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hi Uli.... very nice to see all these together displayed !!!! Very rare view we have here !!! :jumping:
bolewts58 Posted April 17, 2019 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

Hühnlein and Göring also wore this badge.
