Three Unusual Unknown Badges

[vonStubben]

Can anyone here identify any of these three devices!

I personally believe that the gold insignia is someone's initials that have been custom made in order to mount on some type of personal item.....any ideas?

The shield looks Swedish.

I think so too but I haven't been able to find another example of it.


I just found this:. http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/axis-m...tems-27448-36/

The middle badge dates from the Imperial or Kaiserreich era - if that helps.

The shield is Swedish, but a 80ies copy from House of Swords.

After reading the other links and seeing pictures of the others I've been waiting to have this confirmed as I thought as much seeing it's not maker marked and does not have a barrel hinge pin.

Yes, correct. (By the way, I'll pay BIG money for original blue shield).

Yes, I believe so too. The small "swastika" at the 6 o'clock position looks like fern sprigs under magnification. I don't believe reference to the Third Reich was intended here at all. I also believe this to be some sort of monogram as well.

VERY interesting Ron. I really would like to know what the device represents. Hopefully someone will come along who will know.
