Freikorps?

[BlackWatch1]

Please excuse my ignorance. Was told this man was Freikorps. Was he? Thanks again!

Id say yes...from the shape of his collar devices, FW Landesjagerkorps comes to mind... however, there are a few FK devices of similar shape.

Not really clear enough to be specific. So, it could also be FK Hülsen, FK Probstmayr, FK Bogendörfer etc.

Here are examples of FK Hülsen (gold) and Landesjägerkorps (silver).

Brian, was the official collar abzeichen for Landesjagerkorps the silvered version?

The v. Hulsen oakleaves also have a different mounting method, although I'd imagine either pronged or sewed on devices could be had for both types?

Landesjägerkorps were only silver.

The gilt ones I've shown are typically von Hülsen and were commonly sewn on. But, that doesn't likely mean that they didn't have prong versions too, although not shown in Haarcke. It was a very large Freikorps containing several smaller FK units. which may have gotten their badges from whatever stocks were available.
