Peter J Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Here's a tiny cross I picked up this weekend, 31x21mm. I assume the coat of arms is the imperial version for the City of Vienna. Any ideas about the significance of this badge? cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iver Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Its Austro-Hungarian patriotic badge from WWI period, in the shield is austrian double-headed eagle with coat of arms of Habsburg-Lothringen (so called little coat of arms of Austria) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks Iver, much appreciated I noticed the present Vienna shield is identical, except for the lack of crown and with a single headed eagle, hence my assumption. cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
