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,

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

Hi, all thanks for the comments, I'll point my search on that direction, regards

Hi, so have I, I've tried searching under every combination so far, Imperial, Prussian, veteran etc etc, I've now started on Weimar period due to the date the photo was taken, still no joy, I'm sure that badge wasn't the only one produced, It'll turn up one day I'm sure normally when you least expect it.
