I worked for me, so your one should work too

[Grenny]

I got it in jpg-format...I'll try again with gif

Here it is as a GIF, in case you don't have a converter handy.

(HH, with due respect)

A slightly cleaner version.

(the reason HH and the 29ers keep me around: occasional good use of Photoshop) :wink:

And HH..you are now on the list of "Your avatar scares me." Nice work there!

[Hell_Hound]

A much cleaner version, in truth. Somehow, you've acquired a graphics program even more sophisticated than MS Paint. :shock:

[BlackDeath]

by the way HH, you put your old one??

[Hell_Hound]

I have a bunch; the red heraldic is my classic avatar, but I rotate a different one in every few months just for fun. ;)

I need to go through some Hellboy stills, and find a shot of Sammael. 8)

[Grenny]

Thanx for the help...

Btw: thats our barett-sign...of course with a nice green(=barett-color) backround :D

[BlackDeath]

ah that works...

[Hector]

hey Grenny

I have one beret patch a German friend sent me by mail some years ago. Mine has a wheeled vehicle, while the one in ur avatar has tracks? maybe mine is a fake, or maybe there are several versions. will try to take a pic later today

Hector,maybe you'll find it amongst them...

Hey, we could make a quiz out of this!!

Guess what badge stands for what troop?
(Germans,keep quiete for a while)

Maybe you can see it better that way...

For the answers:
number the pix from left to right and up to down :wink:

[Hell_Hound]

Your tankers wear green berets? I thought they wore black like us.

[Grenny]

Yes our Tankers wear black.(together with a nice pink shoulder stripe :lol: )

PzGrenadiere=armored infantry and green stands for Infantry

[Hell_Hound]

Ah, of course. That would explain the crossed rifles and APC on the badge. Duh! :casstet:

[Grenny]

You got it :wink:
Note: some of our APC crew wear also black-baretts...but only if the
Bn CO allows it(not very likely when he's and old "grunt" :) )

btw:You Canadians still wear the crown in your symbols?

[Hell_Hound]

95% of our units have the queen's crown on the badge, but not all of them do.

I've heard that when the queen dies they'll redo all the badges with the king's crown, but that may not happen. (My unit wants it to happen because our old badge was cool and the new one isn't; we dream of getting a redesign when they change monarchs.)

[BlackDeath]

Thats a armored-recon badge(you should also be able to see 2 crossed lances in the backround, as symbol for the light-cavalerie).

The all cloth badges are not "official" ones but bought privatly be soldiers who consider them better looking :wink:
The standart badge is metal.

Well, I wonder why it wasn't placed on a golden backround :D (recon-color) because our arm.-recon guys are the most "color-proud" folks in the whole Bundeswehr.Some even make the complete inside of their uniform-jackets in golden-silk!!!
One reason may be that these units have a high density of nobles amongst their officers(Freiherr von....; Graf von...zu.... their name-badges must be very wide :wink: )

[Hector]

Yes, it does have the lances as you describe. Nice info, thanks Grenny. is it then like the Panzerspahtruppen right? is this badge for the guys using Luchs?

You're right, this gets asked on a monthly basis and should be in the AFK.

so, work! :-)

[Lone*star49]

Some Canadian badges:

Loyal Edmonton Regiment
...

Like the sound (49) of that one.. HH :D


LS :wink:

[Hell_Hound]

And it actually means something. To be called "Loyal", a regiment must never have lost ground to an enemy. They can pull back if ordered to do so, but they must bat 1.000 on the defense. The Loyal Eddies earned their "Loyal" tag in Kapyong pass, along with the US Presidential Unit Citation.

While the other units around them were calling for relief, reinforcements and medevacs, the LER's requests were for artillery on their own lines, and for more ammunition. :)
