Is this a Freikorps buckle?

[Sergeant 08]

.... Looks too much like a badge added to an imperial buckle. Choice is yours...

Yes, surely it looks like a badge added to an Imperial buckle. But why not? We know different buckles for example from the RFB, where they used old Imperial buckles to make new buckles in the Weimar period. It is also possible the Bug buckle was used by some veterans later, I think. Who knows?

Ok. So, technically, I was at least partially wrong and they're not 1919-23 period Freikorps.

The Bug buckle could have been worn later by the Bug veterans. They had a rally in 1926. Perhaps it was worn then.

Yes, the Rossbach buckle is the Spielschar of the Schilljugend. So, again, not precisely Freikorps.

But, both are in the broader sense considered within the Freikorps realm.
