The Deutsches Reiter-Abzeichen is not a rare badge, between 1933 and 1942 the numbers issued (according to Dr. Klietmann) are: Gold (class I) 210, Silver (class II) 6182, Bronze (class III) 61710. It was not instituted by the State, nor by the Military, but an award instituted in 1930 by the Reichsverband für Zucht und Prüfung deutscher Warmbluts e.V. So, any one riding a horse to some standard (civil or soldier) could apply for this badge. Therefore I see no connection with Artillery nor Cavalry.

Here is a photo of a Kriegsmarine officer on horse back, probably the commandant of a landbased unit stationed in or near Kiel, unfortunately his left chest is not visible.

Thanks for comment and information !?????

I come out here as a silent co-reader and co-author of the aforementioned book. Thank you for the kind words and the encouragement. Unfortunately, my English did not go beyond the level of the school, so I have to resort to a translation program. After the publication, there was soon a rift with the publisher. Agreements have not been fulfilled. On the other hand, the many years of very close cooperation with my colleague have left a clear mark. Thirdwasely, the sudden death of my wife came to me, which robbed me of the rest of my strength. Although I did a lot of preliminary work (data, facts, documents, wearing photos and cap tallies), I will not pursue the follow-up volume at the age of almost 73. But I support everyone who dares to approach the project with advice and deeds. My cap tallies Imperial Navy / Vorlaeufige Reichsmarine / Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine are for sale.

Nice Morten. It is significant, that we see the 1918 U-Bootsabzeichen more often in the post 1935 pictures, than in the older photos. This is perhaps, because the badge was introduced so late in the 1st World War, and many men who had qualified applied for it after 1918, when the war was over and the limitations of Versailles strongly reduced the German Forces. Also in Reichsmarine photos, the badge is not often seen. This guy is wearing the singe chevron with one pip, for Stabsgefreiter, a typical rate for "old hands" (volunteers/reservists). The ribbon bar he is wearing, is probably for the Hindenburg Cross.

That is also a scene we doe not see very ofter, the wearing of the Naval sabre with the fieldgrey uniform, excellent Morten! This confirms my opinion, that some of the smallest photos sometimes contain the most interesting facts.

Hi Odulf,
Good you write this as I think the same as you. Thank you for the comments and everything you contribute with your knowledge.

Nice photo nesredep as well as quite special period photographic documentation of the Teno / TN activities.                        

The photos & printed documentation / press photos allow us to better understand the interworking of the Teno.

Photos & Photodocumentation makes it quite clear that the Teno functioned & served in:

• a) The Heimat / Greater Germany - usually wearing the classic Dunkelblau / Navy Blue uniform
• b) The HEER - wearing Heer tunics, with Teno rank tabs & shoulder patches, and with Teno interior stamping. Often with Teno sleeve band as well, especially early war.
• c) The Luftwaffe - wearing Luftwaffe tunics, but with Teno rank tabs & shoulder patches, and often with Teno interior stamping. 
• d) The Navy / Kriegsmarine - ( not seen in a Navy uniform configuration photo ... Yet ). served as an "attached" unit building / refurbishing ports, locks, canals, barges and related. ( The photo above shows a Naval officer awarding the Iron Cross / EK to 3 Teno men ( dressed in Heer uniforms ) at some Naval related location.
• e) The SS - the Teno, those predominantly outside of Greater Germany, from mid 1943 on switched over to wearing the Teno-Police uniforms, wearing nearly identical SS matched collar tabs. The Teno was attached to the SS & took orders from the chain of command, but continued to function in their prior "Technical Help" capacities.

The Teno served in essentially all of the theaters of WWII - & with all of the 4 branches of the combat arms. Rather fascinating ...              Best, Dave L / dblmed
