Austria Hungary WWI Cap Badge Able Militia In Hard Times 1914 1918 by Stoger

Austro-Hungarian Empire: WW1 patriotic cap 
badge for the KuK Landsturm (Imperial & Royal 
Militia).
Inscribed: "Landsturm Taugligh" (Able Militia)
and "In Schwerer Zeit" (In Hard Times)
Dated 1914.
Maker marked by Stoger in Vienna.
The KuK Landsturm was established in 1886 and 
could only be mobilized on the orders of the 
Emperor as Supreme Commander of the Armed 
Forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. 
The compulsory conscription targeted all able men 
of age 19-42.  Those enrolled up to the age of 37 
were defined as first call and those from 38 to 42 
as second call and therefore usable only for third-
line services. 
For retired military officers and officials, the 
possibility of being recalled even extended until 
the 60th year of age.
The badge is rare.
