Schießplatzmeister Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello Alex, My guess is an unofficial veteran's badge for I.R. 126. Perhaps from a meeting of regimental veterans. The photo is from the 1930's, so this would make sense. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Most likely a regimental "ehrennadel"...these were prevalent in the 30's for former members who retained an association with former comrades. many of these organizations helped out members during the tough times directly after the war. some of these ehrennadels are quite valuable in their own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
