Re: Is this a SS Charlemange tricolore??
Still looking; it doesn't seem to be French or Dutch so far; the SS Charlemange shields had vertical lines, and the Dutch does have these diagonal stripes, but has the red one on top, and the blue one under.
What could it be? It has the German period salty look to it....
Maybe just a WH shield of some kind, bt still can't find a match. Have to be fast on this one too, 'cause it will be gone soon if i don't make my mind up!

Re: Is this a SS Charlemange tricolore??
I would have said that it was a fake for sure because of the superfluous border to the badge but I still think that it's great that Winkelman nailed for you.
Well done that man!

Re: Is this a SS Charlemange tricolore??
Thanks Winklemann! I geuss that solves the mistery for good. The badge had me puzzeled the whole day, went through loads of books and searched on many sites, but couldn't find it anywhere. It looked kind of cool to me, but I only have these two pictures, and have not seen the badge in hand.
The seller has it listed as a French ww1 badge, so he hasn't got a clue what it is either! I'll send him a message I'm no longer interested in it (won't tell him what it is).
Thanks again for solving the mistery! Funny how the fakers managed to get the Dutch flag all wrong!
