Default Dragon badge

Anyone know this badge? Maker mark on back hard to see but looks like miokkesen. Had it on another forum a couple years back but cant remember if it was I.D.'d. I will write it down this time as I cant rely on the old memory bank. Thanks Brian

Hello Brian, your badge is Danish Army, the Fynske Livreregiment.(English: Funen Life Regiment) was a Danish Army infantry regiment. On November 1, 1991 it was merged, together with Kongens Jydske Fodregiment, into Slesvigske Fodregiment.

hi barriefield-brian,
the makers mark is MICHELSEN, a goldsmith who made most of the Danish Army badges from about 1949 and forward, - even if they are not gold!

I have found a great Danish Web link to all the badges.... I have had to translate the page..... so it might scan a bit wierdly
[I am setting up an album containing all the images and translated captions]



Funen Livregiment , banner surrendered November 17, 1984 by Prince Henry . Regimental emblem ( see above ) in the upper inner corner . Lind snake Bryk is on foot banners from deposits since 1627th The lower inner corner of the regimental name . For three fanband :

Boar head seeks massive shock infantry force and the animal's courage and strength .
