Hi Peter,
Having just recently acquired a book on the Breast Badges of the Latvian Army, I can now identify the breast badge in your pic as that of the 4th Valmiera Infantry Regiment.
Kind regards,
VJK

Hello, VJK,
Could you please give some more information about the book you mention in your post (see below), title, price and where to buy it. I might be interested in getting a copy for my library.

Hi Markus,
The book is in 3 languages - Latvian, English and Russian. The English title of the book is "Breast Badges of the Latvian Army" by Jānis Vigups, Raimonds Pranks, Vadims Figols and Vladimirs Balašovs. Published in Riga in 2011 by "Balt Art Group", ISBN 978-9984-49-324-4. It was a gift, so I don't know the exact price, but I know it wasn't cheap - @ 80 EUR.
It is an excellent quality book with high quality pics, 493 pages, and an invaluable tool for researchers. Highly recommended!
Kind regards,
VJK
