Gentlemen,
These cockades just came up on e-bay. Am I correct in thinking that these are Baden cockades, are they original and would they be proper for my Baden M 15?

Thank you,

Indeed, it concerns baden cockades and these are correct for M95 and M15 haubes. In addition to a state cockade, you need the national cockade as well.
If authentic they seem to be in a rather poor state and I would recommend to wait until a better cockade shows up. Ebay is a good source for cockades!

Sir,
Thank you for your reply and insight. I was able to locate a Riechs cockade earlier in the year but these are the first examples of Baden cockades that I have seen come available on e-bay (or any other source for that matter) in almost a year. It appears that I am searching for this item during a dry spell! It is the final item that I need to make my pickelhaube complete.

Regards,
