Original Post-WWI German Freikorps Einwoherwehr Fichtel-Gau Membership Pin RARE
Original Post-WWI German Freikorps Einwoher Wehr Fichtel-Gau Membership Pin RARE. A really hard to find Einwohnerwehr Fichtel Gau Membership Pin, there are some notable members of this pre-WWII. The Einwohnerwehr or Citizens Defense groups appeared in Germany after the November 1918 revolution making up a part of the Freikorps militia. They were established with the goal of defending Germany against Communist uprisings although the use of the old imperial colours on this badge go some way to suggest they didn’t support the new Weimar government either. Presumably they consisted mainly of civilians, rather than ex-soldiers like the regular Freikorps units. This stickpin is for the Einwohnerwehr of the Fichtel region of Bavaria. This Membership pin is attributed to the maker GG Linder in Munich. Really rare Stick Pin! Check back often – we search estates and sources across the world to bring a fine selection of militaria.
