erikscollectables Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I am trying to get a complete set of the M1944 Hungarian qualification badges but it seems they are quite rare. This is what I got so far (I do not live in Hungary which certainly does not make it easier...).
iffig Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Very interesting pics, thank you for sharing. The whole range of Hungarian badges prior to and during WW II have been described and illustrated in a kind of "fanzine" pamphlet by someone called Sandor Zeidler under the title: Leistungs-Ehrenabzeichen der österreichisch-ungarischen Armee . As the title suggests, it covers also the WWI and pre-WWI badges of the Austria-Hungary Army. Sometimes, it appears on e-bay or in Abebooks sells. I may post some pages, just in case someone is interested.

Will find the title and add it here - it is a must have for those interested - unfortunately the text is in Hungarian but captions are in English so at least you get a name for each badge in English.
iffig Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Yes, that would be interesting to have this title. Thanks in advance :) Edited September 12, 2011 by iffig

erikscollectables Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) By the way the book I mentioned is by the same author: Sallay Gergely Pal - seregszemle femben, zomancban - a Magyar kiralyi honvedseg es a leventemozgalom jelvenyei - 1938-1945 Edited September 14, 2011 by erikscollectables
Markgraf Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Yes, Sallay's book is the most comprehensive and most recent work in this topic (and last but not least available). I've a dedicated one :)
iffig Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Very interesting study on the 1944 badges and the book seems very promising too! Just one question: where is it available from? Now some illustrations and identifications from the Zeidler book I have mentionned: as you can see austere line drawings from the 80's. Three words of caution: 1) the period covered is 20's and 30's. 2) As is is a book in landscape format, I post the images so that they are not cut. I disclaim liability for stiff necks 3) I just post four pages (two pages of drawings, two pages of identifications)

I thougth no 77 was of a later date. I have a very nice picture of that one being worn - will look it up. Erik
