Imperial era lead badges???

[Milton]

Hello folks. Picked these up recently from a larger lot of medals and badges and am not quite sure what to make of them other than perhaps some very inexpensive give-away from a reunion (or some such event), for an Imperial era German infantry regiment (367th?) There are two of them, both cast from lead, with red paper backing. One has the number "367" and the other simply says "Infantrie" Both have pin backs and measure roughly 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. Any ideas?? A couple of pix below. Thanks for any input.

Milton,

I to think they are veteran's meeting badges. The number 367 did not exist as an infantry unit number (line, reserve, Landwehr, etc.) in WWI. I assume that these are WWII or post WWII badges.

to me they look like a ((made at home project ))).....


Got some,,, and seen a lot of remembrance and patriotic stuff ,,,,,

so far ,,,they often have not the quality and beauty of expensive productions .

But this one you show is the worst so far ,,and also difference itself from common German production methods and techniques ,,,

I would not see it as original,,or German ,,,its a bit to cheaply made in my opinion ,,

but ,,one can never know ..

PS,,, the collar red indicates Austria .

Stuff of this style is know to me as pre-WW1, but the quality of these is really crude, and the high number doesn't make any sense to me.

To be honest: I have no idea what they are...
