Hi Ade!
Thank for opinion.
I think Schnellman is correct . Grandpa served as "unfliegende persone" in KuK flaying corps in aircraft factory in Wiener Neustadt as a taylor.As he told they produced diferent kind of plains ,he remindes Albatroses and Gothas.
We never talked about this badge I always thot it is a so called patriotic pin.
Cheers Alois

Re: Aircraft: Rumpler Taube
What a fascinating & extremely rare photo! Thank you for taking the time to post it here on this forum. I am very surprised no one has commented on his Balloon Korps collar insignia. You just don't see that in period images! Very nice
