Czech insignia

Good afternoon,

Here are photos of a selection of unidentified Czech badges from my collection. If anyone can help with individual identification and the period I would be really grateful. All items are numbered for easy reference

Best regards
Bill

I have attempted to turn the photos the correct way up. Apologies!

Hi Bill,

Im still working on IDing some of those but here is what I have so far. Czech badges are not my strength and I am unsure how to determine rank usage among variations. What I have found so far:

#1-5 Cap Badges of the Czechoslovak Finance Guard, c. 1918-1936.

#6-8 Cap Badges of the Czechoslovak Gendarmerie, c. 1930-39.

#9-10 Cap Badges of Gendarmerie Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, c. 1939-45.

#12 Cap Badge of Gendarmerie Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, c. 1939-45.

#13-15 Cap Badge of the Czechoslovak Gendarmerie, c. 1927-30.

#16 Cap Badge of Czechoslovak Gendarmerie Cadets, c. 1927-30.

#17-18 Cap Badges of the Czechoslovak River Gendarmerie, c. 1937-39.

#19 Cap Badge of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia River Gendarmerie, c. 1939-45.

#21 Czechoslovak Legion Cap Badge, c. 1918-20.

#22 Czechoslovak Fireman’s Cap Badge (possibly Commander’s), possibly pre-1939.

Hope this helps.

Hi Justin,

Very nice to hear from you again. Hope you are well. A big thank you for all your hard work on these badges. They are often difficult items to reference and your information is much appreciated. I look forward to hearing if you find out anything else. I have replied to your identification of a badge on the thread assorted metal mysteries as well.

All the best
Bill
