Hi there,

no one speeking german seems to have looked by.
"Für 25 Jahre Treue im Verein" means:
"for 25 years fidelity to the club"
To me these seem to have no conection to military. It is very common in "Kegelclub" or "Schützenverein" to get avarded such badges for the club-uniform. Sorry.

True, but "Verein" can also mean Krieger/Soldaten etc. Verein, hence, war veteran's club.

The cross with flaming granade is surely some military verein, but for other two we can't be sure, although the design looks military. Is there any reference book for all these pre-WW1 veteran's associations awards?
