dedehansen Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello Gents, from a member of the german fprum SDA I was told, that it is a member from the Freikorps. There are two possibilities either Freiwilliges Jäger Bataillon von Kirchheim or Freikorps Bergmann. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 A tough call, but I dont think Alpenkorps with the collar badges. On th other hand, didnt most Freikorps remove the Bavarian/Prussian/Saxon cockade after the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 He is also not wearing any shoulder straps, which to me is an indication of a Freikorps unit. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpenkorps1915 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does the reverse tell any date? I have seen men wearing 2 Edelweißbadges on their collar in 1915, so it's not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
