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.

Some more from a Prussian State Regiment 1928. These shields are a little different as they have a White border around the Black portion.

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.

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.
