Heer Mystery Badge

[Robin Lumsden]

Does anyone know what this is?

[Kev in Deva]

Is it a depiction of a magnetic Sea-mine ?

I don't think so.

It's on an army shoulder strap.

[Robin Lumsden]

Here are the straps.........

I think they are rare original sample KR5 straps...............unfinished. See the backs have no cloth and the buttonholes have not been cut out.

They came from a new found German tailor shop hoard.

Probably way off the mark but the base of the entwined badge puts me in mind of the rope and piton represented on the Gebirgsjager arm patch. :cheers:

I wondered about that too.

Now, I think it may be an unfinished stylised lyre.

Sorry I am late to this thread, but I agree that it is a lyre that was never finished.
