Civilan hunters badge ?

[Jan]

Hi there,

One of my history professors found this in a drawer today. Does anyone know anything about it?

Basically, what you already said: It's civilian and for hunters.

It's simply a decorative hat badge.

It is probably a badge for a Schützenverein, shooting
union or association, as they used very often the target
as symbol. I have checked various manufacturers-catalogues,

In combination with the green "rosette" it is possible it was
worn with the specific hat.



Here one from about the 1920's:
