    Help to identify items/ freikorp era?

    Hello all, I'm hoping you gentlemen can help me identify a couple of items I have- one seems to be a pin (cap badge?) that reads "Sturmbaon Stockerau" with a date. I could guess Austrian freikorps/alpine korps? The other appears also to be a metal badge with a monogrammed "L" - I was guessing Ludwig (III?) of Bavaria- but not sure what it is or what it's for. I also guessed freikorps era. Thank you for any help identifying these,
    Mike

    Sturmbaon Stockerau is Austrian Heimwehr - home defence paramilitary organization.

    The shield is a bad fake trying to be the Freikorps Lützow Defense Badge (Bewährungsabzeichen des Freikorps Lützow). I've attached a real one for comparison and a link to a site with more information.

      Thank you for the information! I had my doubts about the badge- I appreciate the confirmation, and I did find the sturmbaon pin info online- it looks like the originals; I happy to have one out of two - I would love to know more about the home guard, can anyone suggest any sites for reading or further research?
