Anyone Seen This Traditions Badge in a Heer Photo?

[Brig]

So I have been diving into traditions badges lately...become something of an addict...and I came across this RAD traditions badge on another forum...


From what I can gather, the 56th Infantry Division also used a crest of crossed sabers. Versions with crossed sabers were also used by the 94th Infantry Division (with dot top-center), IV Pzr.K. (with shamrock top-center), 302nd Infantry Division, and the 164th Infantry Division (stylized-L top-center). All can be seen here: http://www.wwiidaybyday.com/emblems/...onsemblems.htm

I have been wondering if perhaps this pin was used by any of those divisions as well...either officially or unofficially. Does anybody have any images of Wehrmacht troops wearing this or similar badge?

Oh yes...but it's so similar to other units, I am curious if maybe other units may have used it unofficially, too

Brig,

As an FYI the traditions badge at the start of the thread is for the RAD Arbeitsgau XV - Sachsen.

While this does not address your initial question, I wanted to add the Gau location to the posting.
