1898 Imperial Badge?

[RH1941]

I picked this up today along with a nice WWI camo helmet. I've looked all over the web and can't find it to save my life. Anybody have a clue. Thank you for any help . Gary

The eagle is Austrian.

Hi Rich thanks for the info I'll look into them. I also found a mention of a big chess match from 1898 . Gary

Just checked - 2 December 1898 was the 50th anniversary of the Emperor Franz Josef's accession.

Guess that explains all the celebrations.
