Eiserne Eskadron of the Lettow-Vorbeck Division

[Brian L.]

As discussed on the Imperial forum, here is a collar badge (which I picked up from the original poster) of the Eiserne Eskadron which was the headquarters escort for the Lettow-Vorbeck Division during the Spartacist Uprising in Berlin in January 1919.

As well, a picture of two members of the Freikorps showing the collar badge being worn.

Very nice collar tab and picture Bowlets58. I'm mostly into TR and just "getting into" Freikorps a bit with the more common stuff. I've seen a few guard star variations with holes (for wear on the arm?) or pinback but its the first time I see this type. Great condition!

No doubt, a very nice looking piece and a very rare collar tab badge, too.

Yes, it is. I just picked up another one that is the same as yours. Just waiting for it to arrive. Who would have thought that there would be a variation for a badge for such a small Freikorps?
