Abstract
The current paper deals with the membership certificate and the society badge of the “Fauna”, the ancestor of the present “Société des naturalistes luxembourgeois” (SNL) (The Luxembourg Naturalist Society). The membership certificate could be purchased by the members of the association from 1897 to 1905. The paper reports how it came to be produced, how many copies were made and to whom they were sold. Unfortunately, no copy of it has yet been found. The badge the “Fauna” issued to its members was sold from 1901 to 1905. Presently, only one specimen is known. It was recently handed over to the SNL by Dr Guy Mullenberger, a descendant of Hubert Mullenberger, one of the co-founders of the “Fauna”. The badge, whose centrepiece is an owl, is described in detail.
