              Great finds! Be sure to post the Wehrpass in the right forum, with some scans of the units & awards pages.

              The loops on the back are to facilitate sewing onto a uniform, I would imagine. Sometimes seen on EKs from WW1, but can't say I've ever seen anything this convincing (in my short collecting career) on WW2 stuff.

              Congrats again,

                    well in his paper work I can read he was in WW1 so maybe thats why he did it? it says "WESTFRONT" a couple of times but don't know what else it says

                    last of this one,,, Top of the badge where the old part was you can see he went right over it??
