    Freikorps unit?

    Hello!
    what about this photo?
    Are these freikorps soldiers? Maybe Iron Division?

    Thanks

    Definitely Iron Division.
    Here are a couple of caps from my collection.

          Definitely members of the Iron Division. That's Major Bischoff in the center with the lady (his wife?). The skull emblem for this unit was on the small size (generally in the area of 20 to 25 mm). The larger 30-35 mm version was worn on the collar by Freikorps Brüssow and in an oval on the sleeve by Ostpreussischen Jägerkorps Gerth. Here's a comparison of the two styles, along with an Iron Division medal and ribbon as issued.

            That's the ribbon I've been after for years!!

            Regards,

            Robin.

            PS - I have two of these Iron Division medals, and both are stamped 'ALPACCA' on the ribbon ring. On one, the stamp is almost illegible - just traces of the 'ACCA' at the end. Obviously refers to the fact that the medal's silver-plated, but I always thought this was interesting as I've never seen this word on any other medals - only on goblets, salvers etc.

              Pour le mérite

              VerKuilen,

              Josef Bischoff was the holder of the Pour le mérite. This officer is not wearing that decoration.

              Regards
              Glenn

                How rare is the Iron Division Medal and what should be a fair prize for it (for a good condition one)?

                Regards, Javier
