Einwohnerwehr Bayern-Chiemgau / Freikorps Chiemgau

[Brian L.]

Some recent acquisitions.

Sleeve Badge and stickpin of Einwohnerwehr Bayern-Chiemgau / Freikorps Chiemgau. All the Chiemgau badges were made by Deschler.


Einwohnerwehr Bayern-Chiemgau / Freikorps Chiemgau were attached to Freikorps Epp and one sometimes sees the Epp and Chiemgau badges being worn together.

Fantastic sleeve badge!

That is something, what I'm still looking for. Not easy to find a nice original today.

Thanks a lot. Now all I need is to pick up the Einwohnerwehr lapel badge to complete the set. There have been 2 on ebay recently and I missed both of them.

yes, and it first made me suspicious, as it is not necessarily a good sign.

But, IMO they were both absolutely ok. It was just a coincidence.
