Austrian Heimwehr badges

[fch630]

Hi

I wondered if anyone had any info on Austrian Heimwehr badges? I’ve had these in my collection for a few years now and never really got round to researching them in more detail. When I bought them the seller told me they were Austrian Heimwehr membership badges, which I found interesting as this sort of thing doesn’t seem to turn up much. Any information or pictures of similar badges would be much appreciated.

Nice badges!

Just the last one has to be a Hungarian 1WW veteran badge

Found this batch but I´m not sure, it´s Heimwehr, or, Schutzbund ?

Thanks for the replies.

Bruno, yes you're right, the Budapest makers mark would suggest a Hungarian badge!

Reibert, that's interesting, I wouldn't have considered that some of my badges could be Schutzbund. I'll do a bit more research on this and see if I can find anything. Thanks.
