what is this supposed to be?

[Sal Williams]

My friend wants some badges to put on his bike and he showed me a pic of this. I said it was for hippie stormtroopers but I could be wrong

Hi Sal, it is a WW1 Austrian Stormtroopers badge. See here for some more info:

If it is a period piece, your friend would be better off selling it to a collector, as these badges command very high prices.

Amen to that. If he really wants that on his bike repros are fairly easy to come by & he could have a pretty good chunk o' change left over.

Got a point there... Minus the grenades and it does have a certain inexplicable Grateful Dead-ness about it.

[Sal Williams]

Hey all,
Thanks! Don't worry he doesn't have one he just wants one to put on his bike. Anyone know where to find the repros of this thing?

Best, Sal

Gerd, you know the friend, Afsheen! And you know he is pretty strange

Yep, but in the best sense Send him greetings from me, Sally.
