Cavalry badge (currently on eBay).

Gen. Dénes

The badge belonged to the volunteers of territorial cavalry units (Calarasi). Traditionally, the territorial cavalrymen were long term service soldiers and took turns (which means “Cu Schimbul”) in doing their service. According the regulation adopted in October 1940 in the territorial cavalry units volunteers who brought their own horses were allowed to carry a special badge representing a horse shoe and a head of a horse.
It’s interesting to note that there were also special badges for those volunteers who used their own motorcycles for the service within the reconnaissance sub-units or as couriers (“MOTOCICLIST CU SCHIMBUL”) or brought their horse for horse artillery units (“ARTILERIST CU SCHIMBUL”).

Thanks Kepi for the information. Are the images related in any way to the books on Romanian badges which is due to appear in the Dorobanţul series?

I’m sorry. I forgot to mention the source of the drawings. They were published in the appendix of the “Regulation of the horse troopers and motorcyclists by turns” (“Regulamentul trupei cu schimbul calare si a motociclistilor cu schimbul”), Bucharest 1940, pages 41- 42. This regulation could be found in the National Military Museum library.

I hope this badges will be also presented in the next issue of “Dorobantul” series. As far as I know, professor Cornel Andonie, who is the author of this book, intend to describe mainly the regimental (“7 years”) badges, but also other specialist or qualification badges. I don’t know if all these badges could be included in 8 colour plates.
It seems that the book will be released at the end of 2006.
