Hello Al,
I wonder if it is a locally produced Freikorps collar or hat badge.
Certainly an unusual piece
Could be an avenue to research
All the best

Hello Doug, I was thinking along the same lines as Freikorps related. Perhaps it's even older. thank you for posting that photo. Is that a Freikorps cap badge ?
Regards, Al
It's supposed to be Al but I don't have it in my collection.
I'm pretty sure I have seen something similar to yours for sale fairly recently but I have been so busy with getting on being retired I have missed the last four or five months and consequently I have missed out on quite a lot.
I like yours a lot and it is worth doing some work researching it.
If that is the group of items that came together with the patriotic badge and pip it just adds a little more to the provenance assuming (big assumption) that they have been together forever.
All the best

Yes I like that grouping Al. Well done.
It's a bundle I wouldn't have minded adding to my collection.
All the best
Doug
I'd be inclined to think Freikorp collar or a similar paramilitary organization.
Are the pips, shoulder board or collar pips?
That patriotic EK pendent is a nice piece also.
Hi Chris, I thought collar insignia also based on the size and attachment. It measures up about the size of the panzer collar insignia. It's pretty sturdy material, I got the impression it was a softer metal from the original photo. As for the pips, I don't know either.
Cheers, Al
