3rd Army (2)

The Kappenabzeichen of the Third Army is one of the most common badges. It can be found in every collection. I have already presented a wearing photo of the badge here. Postcards depicting the army badges are also not uncommon. Some of the badge images published in printed form show a smaller version of the badges. We see this in our case as well.

The number of smaller versions is lower than the regular size. Most regimental badges were not even made in two sizes. Interestingly, in the case of higher units, it is considered common to make two or even three sizes. Smaller specimens also had a hook-in pin, and they appear in the wearing photos as well. I wrote about another popular insignia of the 3rd army with a panoramic view of Belgrade here.
