Hi, second one seems to be a shooting badge, looks ok but then I'm no expert.
Not sure about the first one, looks like a Gebirgsjager cap insignia, but something doesn't seem quite right?? Is it the pinecones.....or are they supposed to be acorns???

Actually, is that a Tyrolean shooting badge?? Perhaps the other one is Tyrolean too?

Thank you Tony....
Don't know about the two badges.....
More opinion welcome
Thanks,
Martin.

Martin, thats definitely a Tyrolean shooting badge, I'd say its a genuine one too.
Here's a pic & description of another I found while searching the net....

....."Description: Tyrolean Shooting Competition. MEISTERSCHUTZE 1943 (champion of shooting); large breast badge; zinc with tiny remains of gilding one part construction; horizontal pin on reverse, numbered "1611". Fine quality with visual grey zinc patina"

The first badge is a RAD traditions badge, don't have my books here so can't tell you which area.

Is it a RAD tradition badge for a cap ?

This is a Meisterschütze badge which would have been awarded at the annual Tiroler Landesschießen held in Innsbruck. To recieve one a minimum score had to be achieved in three events (Pistol, KK-Gewehr & Wehrmann, for which three individual enamel badges with oakleaf surround were also issued).

This particular piece was awarded to a W.Pflauder from Feldkirch, he also received badges in 1943 & 1944. Because he was awarded 3 Meisterschütze badges he would also have been awarded the 3 Jahr Gaumeisterschütze badge in 1944.
