Identify the sleeve badge in this photo?

[Brian L.]

Can anyone identify this sleeve badge?

I initially thought it might be Freikorps. But, it doesn't conform with any known Freikorps insignia.

I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Riding Artillery. See Cavalleriebelt - this fits with the sleevebadge

By "Riding Artillery" do you mean "Horse Artillery"?

It is the "Richtschützenabzeichen"

How to translate this ?

Maybe "Artillery marksman"

The gunner who aimed the cannon....

Thanks for all your help.

I think a better translation for "Richtschützen" would be "Gunner".

Richtkanonier patch for field artillery. The English equivalent is "gunlayer", which is the person who sets the gun with the proper firing settings.
