Some of the variants and the Special Kokarden card I have posted before, but I know Tony loves it so here it is again.

Another Baden Offizier Kokarde in the Hessen style (this from a Dragoner helmet in my collection):
Chas that is obscene. Astounding.

Hi Brian:
Difficult to obtain a precise measurement with my calipers due to the vaulted chinscale rosette, but the kokarde measures approximately 45mm.

Hallo,
ich habe Ihre großartige Musterkarte mit den badischen Kokarden gesehen. Wunderschöne Stücke. Ich habe auch einige badische Kokarden in meiner Sammlung. Es sind Stücke aus einer alten Manufaktur. Urspründlich war es eine ganze Kiste voll. Viele ungetragene Stücke und auch Einzelteile. Ich konnte einige davon damals bekommen.
Beste Grüße
Mike

Congratulations Mike,
Don't forget to use a translator, this is an English-speaking forum and most members do not understand German.

Great photo, those are worth their weight in gold when you need one 
A pair of Baden officer kokarden in the Prussian style:
The "white" metal ring on the Reich kokarde is made of zinc which indicates wartime manufacture. The ring on the Baden kokarde is brass.
The reverse. The Baden on the left has it's proper cardboard backing circle. The Reich on the right never had one which supports simplified wartime manufacture.

Good morning everyone,
But these aren't all cockades from the Grand Duchy of Baden, are they?
The manufacturers also produced for other states in Germany. I have the two-tone cockade (red/gold) on my helmets from the Principality of Lippe (Detmold). In addition, some manufacturers made samples, but they were rejected by the states because they didn't meet their specifications.
