I recently picked up a small group of early badges and these two were in the lot. I have not been able to fully identify either of them and would appreciate your help.

One I believe is a post-war made veterans association badge. It bears the name of a ship, the Elbing, which I assume is the ship the veteran served on. The details are not as crisp as similar badges that I’ve been able to find, but it still seems well made.

The other has me stumped. It is very well made and marked ‘Ges Gesh 120′ on the reverse. I’m assuming Kaiserliche Marine something or other but I cannot find a similar insignia with crossed shovels over the anchor. Also, the pin is horizontal rather than vertical, which I found interesting.

Thank you for your help and insight, it is greatly appreciated!
