November 28, 20223 yr #27 Soldiers in Barracks around 1932 by virtue of the M31 Zeltbahns, now these troops must be from a Baden unit, and what appears to be a White Shield is in fact Yellow, maybe the old photo flash making it look White and or Bright then it is.

April 3, 20233 yr #33 Would anyone know if the sleeve insignia was something really worn within Bavarian units of the Reichswehr?

May 3, 20233 yr #40 Found this, a M18 Ear Cut Out of the Prussia Contingent, looks reworked, new Rivet placement, and the Lugs, the Lugs are non standard right. Unfortunately the only image of it was this one.
June 2, 20233 yr #43 A Prussian Machine Gun Team, 1927, of note is the wearing still of the M1915 Tunic. These can also be seen being worn on some in Post#35.

June 28, 20233 yr #47 If you love those, you'll love this one. Engineers doing Gas Protection Training, the dogs too 1930, the Prussian 3rd Pionier Battalion 3rd Infantry Division.
July 10, 20233 yr #48 Another Bavarian Poster, see this one also has a Sleeve Insignia like the first one we posted.

Think this insignia at least is a depiction of one of the Freikorps Epp Badges, though they seem to have been worn on the other side.
