Bavarian Cap Badge?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

 

this is not one I know... are they wearing something Austrian?

[Gilles]

Yes, it's the Austrian tinnie of the 21st. Korps 1916

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi Gilles,

[Chip]

Hi,

I did not know it was one of the "accepted" ones for bavarians?

I guess even less official than the 11th Bav Inf Div etc.?

[The Prussian]

Hi Chriss!

No, they all are the same level... NOT ALLOWED!

The only cap badges, allowed by Wilhelm are the Edelweiß and the Karpathenkorps-badge

[Chris Boonzaier]

HI,

 

but at least the other unofficial ones are German!

[The Prussian]

Only the bavarian ones are german. All the others are austrians, like the Edelweiß

So excuse my ignorance, am I right in thinking then that these Badges are completely unauthourised for wear according to Army regulations but tolerated at Unit Level or by individual Commanders?

[The Prussian]

Yes. Absolutely right, Simon!

Many thanks Andy, always trying to learn something new!

Great to see this one in use. I am avidly following research by "The Prussian" and compiling my own collection. 

 

[The Prussian]

Hello Fritz!

Turkish. A fluke find cheaper than most German or Bulgarian. I traded it off for something better. I'm shooting pics of the updated Kappenabzeichen, since I now have K.B. 10. Inf. Div. at last.

Lucky guy! The turkish one was the most expensive badge in my collection. For several weeks I only had bread and water...

For me it left me eating as usual, but I flipped it in a trade for something else that would have had me on peanut butter sandwiches for a month. 

Here is what I have currently. The three at the bottom are post-WWI Verein (one for kb 10.IR, which is the primary regiment I collect). I recently bought the 22 Schuetzen. Div because of the Bavarian button design, and see they were in the same Korps, but I was uncertain past that if any Bavarians would have been wearing it.

 

[The Prussian]

Very nice, indeed! What´s the one bottom left. "Flieger"?

I try to collect only those, which could have been worn by german troops. Sometimes I have photos, sometimes it´s juts a guess...

Found this image for sale, and with Chip we deduced the badges as shown:

I agree, mate!
