    What surprised me is ..................... how SMALL the badge is.

    It is extremely well detailed for its size.

      Hi Robin,

      I'm not sure which book this is here, I don't have the book, just this shot used in the sales pitch..

      Cheers,
      Steve

      Probably described as such because VerKuilen Ager's (excellent) old booklet described it thus.

      Now we know (I think) that it is a Stahlhelm badge...............for SHB members who were trained infantrymen in their former lives.

        I have already seen a lot of those badges and I think a relation to "Der Stahlhelm" is possible.

          Not VerKuilen Ager's book.................most of the illustrations in his are line drawings.

            This page is from Lothar Hartung's price guide "Deutsche Freikorps 1918 - 1921". Note that it is listed as an unknown item which the author asks to be identified.

            By the way, Kai Winkler once had one of those badges for sale and had described it as being a former infantrymen's sleeve badge used by the Stahlhelm's Landesverband Sachsen.
