Verdun16 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Can anyone tell me more about this fellow's shoulder tabs? Only thing I know about this guy is that he is medical,Bryan Edited March 23, 2008 by Verdun16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdun16 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Second photo is much better as it clearly shows the boards and the ribbons for the IC2 and the Honor Cross with swords,Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wow! what an assortment!!!If you can make a clear enlargement of the Stabsarzt's ribbon bar in #1, knowing which Imperial state he came from MIGHT come up from a name with that large a combination. Interesting to see the officer cadet version insignia on his younger colleague. For some reason those officer-width/stiff "NCO" boards never seem to turn up.#2 is wearing an ARMY enlisted ranks tunic. I don't see any anchors on his buttons!#3 with the beard... I don't see any anchors on his buttons either. His straps mystify me. He doesn't appear to have NCO/PO braid on his collar, so that can't be a subdued Feldwebel strap. One metallic bar is for NCO candidates... so what's he doing with that AND a pip?#4 is wearing very nice war's duration Beamten collar tabs-- conhtrast with #12.#8 I don't recognize the General's face, but perhaps those who do NOT rely on ribbon bars can!#12 This war's duration Paymaster is wearing Regular officials tabs-- yet he's obviously a war's duration type too. His ribbon bar ends with the 25 Years Civil Service Cross, not Wehrmacht long services.#14 Mein Gott!!!!!! It is the ULTRA RARE, TOP SECRETPANZERKAYAK ABTEILUNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Another from the Kriegsmarine wearing a beautiful IC1. Love the beardThe Kriegsmarine one looks more like a member of an "Ostvolk" unit. I have never seen that type of shoulder strap insignia. Definitely not KM, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Strong Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Very nice photo's, #12 could be wearing the 1st style tabs with the grey piping before they went to the 2nd style tabs in #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
