Are the pins worn on clothing or are they part of a mug or flask? Regardless, they are really interesting and intricate pieces.Comment

I think the pin on the back side is was only to wear it on clothing.Originally posted by PaulR View PostComment

Paul, that is a interesting question. I would have to believe they were worn on clothing, hats, maybe flags. No way to attach it to a stein, pipe or flask. I have not seen a picture with these badges being worn. I am not even sure how they were given out. Here are two different type.. They are very well made and as you say "intricate pieces" which is very typical for the Imperail German era. MIkeLast edited by Mike Dunn; 05-21-2009, 12:58 PM.Comment

I think not all of these badges were made for Reservisten. I think some badges like this one, the men got after the Musterung (medical examination for military service).Originally posted by Mike Dunn View Post
The lettering of your badge is: Wehrfaehig. It means the man is ready for military service. I have seen other badges with inscriptions like: Ein Jahr zurück. It means (for example) the physical constitution was not ok and the man had to wait. He had to come back one year later.Comment

The item in #26 is no Colonial badge (not Sudan but Sedan). It is a badge of the Sedan Tag in Germany. This day was celebrated in memory of the famous battle of Sedan (in the 1870 war). This badge is from the celebrations in 1895.Last edited by Sergeant 08; 05-21-2009, 01:05 PM.Comment
