Transylvanian Rangers
Transylvanian rangers was a famous group of volunteers. It was organized by Prince Lajos Windischgrätz after the Romanian invasion. The troop operated as an independent unit for 13 months in 1916 and 1917. They took part in the assault launched against the Magyaros roof in the Carpathians on March 8, 1917. The detachment was assigned by the German commander of the front section, General von Seeckt, to the 39th Honvéd Division as reinforcement. During 1917, the detachment merged into this division.
The tiger Kappenabzeichen was the distinguishing mark of the unit. The commander ordered it for his warriors. The prince’s wife designed the badge based on her husband’s favorite slogan: the soldiers of his unit were his tigers. Marton Alajos manufactured the badge in Budapest.
I would see the back of the Transylvanian Ranger kappenabzeichen and know the history of the badge.
Thanks
The story of the badges is also known. The commander-founder Windischgraetz called the unit’s soldiers “my tigers”. So, his wife designed a badge featuring the tiger. I also attach another picture with the back of the badge.
I have this one, what do you think about?
Seems good, the hook is different. If the material is thin it is ok. But the pictures are not really good to see fine details.
This kind of hook is good? Is known on other kappenabzeichen of this type? Thanks a lot
Could be.
