Hallo Freunde..

One is a badge with the swiss flag in shield-form and some dates that correspond more or less to the WW 1 era… curiously it says 1914-1919 (not 1918 as one could expect), and the numbre of some battalion.
the second one is easy: it shows a metal badge from 1940 of a swiss soldier with helmet, on the back it says "SOLDATENWEIHNACHT" (soldier´s christmas) in the four oficial languagaes (german, french, italian & raeto-roman). Surely my grandpa got it when he was in " active duty" guarding the border against the evil germans..
Hope you like them.. cool militaria
