I've seen those but never in a period photo.

Perhaps they were made in the the Weimar period, too? Who knows? I have seen many unusual badges and insignia from that period on Reichswehr and other uniforms.

Freikorps veterans.

A long time after the Freikorps activities, veterans of the Freikorps Bruessow show proudly their skull flag!

[Sergeant 08]

More skull flags.

[Sergeant 08]

Flags of the Jungdeutscher Orden and in the left corner the skull flag with the "UND DOCH!" motto in the Weimar period.

Here is an interesting stick pin! These pins are very rare and the big dealers want a lot of money for such an item. Sellers sometimes call it "Early stick pin for NSDAP sympathizers". I think, it can be a stick pin for veterans of the Eiserne Division. Skull symbol, lettering "UND DOCH!" (the motto of the Iron Division / Eiserne Division. Swastika in background. Worn already pre or after 1933? I can not exactly answer this question.

Last week I ordered this book about the Eiserne Division and it should arrive soon!

Here is why I asked. Seller stated it was an officer model, which I am not aware of there being a difference. The glue is from him ripping it out of an album. He sold two MG badges with this glue on it.

Interesting badge, but I have never seen a compareable one.

On the right side the normal cap skulls and on the left side smaller skulls on collar.
