Centennial Commemoration badge for the Garde Schützen Battalion

[Mild_Turkey]

Here's a gunshow find, a badge commemorating the 100th anniversary of the raising of the Garde Schützen battalion. It's very similar to the Jäger shooting prized, but with the addition of two bandeau's: "1814-1914" and "Vive le roi et ses Chasseurs"

The gilt on this is absolutely beautiful.

How was this badge worn? Is it for uniform?

Wonderful to see. I collect these as well and though I have a few dozen, there is no end to the variety. Here are some favorites. Some are for veteran organizations, or Verein, and others anniversary commemorations.

Sorry Stieve I should have been more clear top right my friend and those lapel pins are also very nice.

I'm just amazed at both the breadth and depth of your collection.
