Freirkorps Pfeffer and grüne Fangschnur mit dem Westfälischen Pferd

[Brian L.]

Here is a photo of a group from Freikorps Pfeffer showing the 2nd pattern sleeve badge and one soldier wearing the green shooting cord.

Also, my example of the shooting cord 3rd grade with acorns (grüne Fangschnur mit dem Westfälischen Pferd mit zwei grüne Eicheln).

The shooting cord was awarded in 3 grades by the Generalkommando VII. Armee-Korps to Freikorps units from Westphalia, 1919-1920.

Always nice to see the rarities of your collection!

Thanks. Of course, Speaking of rarities, Destruction has the 1st grade of the shooting cord which is considerably rarer than mine. If talking about rare collections, his eclipses mine for sure.

.....If talking about rare collections, his eclipses mine for sure.

But I'm not sure, if he has so many rare Freikorps photos like you.

Yes. a much clearer picture of the cord being worn. The awards are the Eiserne Division medal and the Baltic Cross.
