Josef Švejk Posted 27 April , 2020 Share Posted 27 April , 2020 Hi. Is it Imperial Russian cap badge, WWI period? Thanks. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom K Posted 28 April , 2020 Share Posted 28 April , 2020 No, Good Soldier, I think not. Imperial Russia's cap cockade was orange and black for OR's, Gold and black for officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 28 April , 2020 Share Posted 28 April , 2020 Tom any idea what it could be? The method of fixing on a Russian cap badge looks as if it would leave a similar mark on the reverse if snapped or otherwise damaged. It does have an eastern European feel to it but wouldn't be able to identify it. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom K Posted 29 April , 2020 Share Posted 29 April , 2020 (edited) I agree it has a real east European feel to it. Not Serbian (red/blue white) or Bulgarian (red,green,white) - those are the only two other belligerents I know of that had a similar hat badge. Anything else I would add would be pure guesswork - and probably be more misleading than helpful. What countries in Eastern Europe have red and white as national colours? Poland? Could be from South America too but I doubt it - Peru? Edited 29 April , 2020 by Tom K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 29 April , 2020 Share Posted 29 April , 2020 Austria perhaps? Is it definitely military or could it be from something like a police helmet or railway company? In fact could it be intended to be worn on a uniform rather than as a cap badge? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
