Badge ID help

#1

Post by B Hellqvist » 21 Jul 2018, 12:24

I've tried to ID the badge worn on the pocket, but with no success. I even think I saw some film clip of Hitler wearing a very similar badge on a uniform, but I haven't been able to find any photos of it. The central device looks like a raised sword or dagger. Does anyone know what it could be?

It's really too small to be sure. I see an anchor there, not sword. :D

Trust me - it's a sword or bayonet. I have the original photo in front of me.
