Re: Schwedter Adler
Aaah!! Thank you Ade. Are these quite common or not?
Also I think that should be "Schwerdter Adler"?

Re: Schwedter Adler
Hi Tom, they are hard to find and, you guessed it, much reproduced. I am not convinced this one is real? The detail is poor.
Cheers, Ade.

No; "Schwedter Adler" is the correct spelling. (In 1815, it was given as a traditions badge to the Prussian Army's 1. Brandenburgisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 2 [= 1st Brandenburgian Dragoons Regiment No. 2], which was garrisoned in the town of Schwedt in Brandenburg; hence the name.)

Re: Schwedter Adler
Hi Tom, glad you found that.
I still lack one of these for my collection. Been looking for a good one at the right price for 30 odd years....
But I do have a nice beer mug with one on it from 1940.
Cheers, Ade.
