    Awesome Cris, that's totally what it looks like.

    Here is a patch from Rastatt Wehrgeschichtliche Museum.

    It does loook like the patch on the photo has a MW and 18 or 118

    Thx. Most likely it is one of the abteilungen which formed the Minenwerfer Kompanie 221. So the number might be 19 or 113. Too bad there's a crease right on the number.

    As the first letter is neither a "S" nor a "L" for "schwere" or "leichte", it is either Mittlere Minenwerfer Abt. 18 or 118. Maybe Cron has the details. The guy wearing it is an Unteroffizier.

    In the photo of Rastatt Wehrgeschichtliche Museum the shoulder borad with MW G 173, the "G" stands for "Gebirgs-" The last photo of OvBacon nicely shows that Pionier Bataillon 15 (Flaps) was responsible for the formation of at least two Minenwerfer units, as all wear the same flaps but different patches denoting the specific Minenwerfer-Einheit.
