These golden oak leaves were worn by so-called Schützen (citizen soldier's) and offered in the F.W. Assmann & Söhne from Lüdenscheid catalogue from the 1930's. Page 56 mentions article-number 16748 as Kragenabzeichen (collar insignia), available in silvered or golden anodized.
This form was also offered in the 1920's and included in the 1926 Wilhelm Deumer cataloque as article-number 1718 (with a page with insignia for shootists) and in the Steinhauer & Luck catalogue from 1934 as article-number 3136, as collar insignia.

These oak leaves were in use also at earlier dates and may have been used by the one and other free-corps also. No doubt!

True. But, it's my opinion that these are Freikorps. They have the correct finish, correct style of veins and the squared double splints on the back.

Would like to see a photograph from the reverse.
They are even made these days! So why think nearly 100 years back!

Yes. But, I don't believe they make them these days with the double square splints. Nor, do I believe they make them with flat, yellow-gilt finish.
