The Prussian Posted December 5, 2017 Author Posted December 5, 2017 Hello Fritz! Unfortunately I don´t know much about the zoomed badges. Lovcen is in Montenegro. German troops hadn´t been there Battaglione Cividale is an italian one: http://www.battaglionecividale.com/index.php/2015-04-26-18-18-20/la-storia-del-battaglione/12-il-battaglione Pflanzer is possible it was worn by german troops 8.Geb.Brig. : I don´believe, because Montenegro is mentioned 1914-1917: I haven´t seen ti before. We see an austrian and a german soldier (?). Probably just a remembrance one. Maybe worn, but I´m not sure
Fritz die Spinne Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Andy. When I saw that grouping, I had to wonder. I am at the point where 3. Armee, Korps Kühne and 215.Inf.Div. are likely to be the end points, at least for now. My two newest here are Korps Marshall and Armee Pflanzer. Again, Andy, thanks for inspiring expanding my Bavarian focus to include this little collection. Edited December 12, 2017 by Fritz die Spinne
The Prussian Posted December 12, 2017 Author Posted December 12, 2017 Hello Fritz! Great collection! Superb! Are you sure, the last two ones were worn by german troops?

Vielen Dank! The influence of the Bavarians on the one insignia, plus the great deal I got on it, led to its purchase. 14th Army was German led, but primarily consisted of K.u.K. units, to include the 22nd Schützen Div. The German units were primarily from the Bavarian III Korps, with a couple units from Württemburg, as well. There would have been a large Bavarian influence within this Army group. 14. Armee / Armeeoberkommando 14 / A.O.K. 14) was an army level command of the German Army in World War I formed in September 1917 in Krainburg for use against Italy. Its Headquarters was located at Vittorio Veneto from 10 November 1917 until the army was disbanded on 22 January 1918. The 14th Army served on the Italian Front throughout its existence. The Flieger badge is one I have noted in the attached Bavarian Leiber turned Flieger photo:
The Prussian Posted December 13, 2017 Author Posted December 13, 2017 Hi FRitz! I know that photo. I stil wonder which badge it is (the 1st from left at the cap). Is it really the Flieger one???? That would be a big surprise!!!
The Prussian Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 Never seen... But it will be an austrian one. The manufacturer "Brüder Schneider" ("Schneider bros.") came from Vienna/Austria. The town is written in three languages. German, polish and cyrillic
The Prussian Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 Oops. Sorry. I don't know the difference...
The Prussian Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 I only know, they produced medals, tinnies in the 30s. Because of the the polish word Lwow, I assume, it was made in the 20s or 30s.
The Prussian Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 Ah, ok. But that´s about a "Nagelfigur", not about the tinnie. But I might be wrong...
The Prussian Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 Maybe the tinnie could be bought during the introduction of the nail-man?
Fritz die Spinne Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 One of my favorite topics, and I can't thank Andy enough for his research, sending me down the rabbit hole with this. I missed out on the 215th Infantry Division tinnie, but these two came from the same konvolut. Unfortunately my source link for LIR 15 seems a little defective, bringing me to that of the 13th. I can't seem to retrace the links to fix it.
The Prussian Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) This one?? Edited August 4, 2020 by The Prussian
Fritz die Spinne Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 19 hours ago, The Prussian said: This one?? Yes, this one. Seems to be the one from your list that I am missing. LIR seems to have a very interesting history https://portal.dnb.de/bookviewer/view/1031485147#page/0/mode/2up
The Prussian Posted August 5, 2020 Author Posted August 5, 2020 Hello! Heres is Korps Kühne, an overview of my collection and an article I wrote for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Heereskunde Verbandsabzeichen.pdf 1
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 "What part of Kappenabzeichen did you not understand!?" 1
The Prussian Posted November 1, 2020 Author Posted November 1, 2020 That´s why I don´t use the word "Kappenabzeichen (cap badge)". I prefer "Verbandsabzeichen (formation badge)"
Fritz die Spinne Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 I don't think I've seen the 8.RID anywhere but the collar and cap.

The Prussian Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Great! I´ve never seen it on civilian clothes before
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 OK... I finally got one! A pretty nice badge indeed....
