My pleasure. Here is the Nachschub/Supply Trains symbol. The men in the photo are rear echelon troops and older men were often used in this role. Cheers, Larry

It looks like the Nachschubtruppen (Supply Column) symbol. The M and N above is unusual. A single M usually denotes Munitions while a single N denotes Nachschub. A possible interpretation could be Munitions Nachschub or Munitions Supply Column. Cheers, Larry

PM sent. Cheers, Larry

Thank you. Cheers, Larry

Another project I did on a rainy day.

My pleasure Morten. Hi Bayern, Thank you very much for the clarification. Cheers, Larry

Oberfeldwebel wearing High Seas Fleet Badge and Minesweeper Badge. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Those pre-1940 patches are hard to find in photos. Here is a "T" from a photo I posted a while ago. Cheers, Larry

Another.

You have very nice photos in your collection. Thanks for posting them. Cheers, Larry

Very nice work Alex. Here is one I did over a decade ago. From a 9 Panzer Division album. Cheers, Larry Another old colourisation. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Very nice photo. Made even more special by the early Stabsgefreiter chevron worn by seaman standing in middle of photo. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Very nice patches you have posted. Cheers, Larry

Thanks Morten and nice photo you have posted. I wonder what the oars were for. Cheers, Larry

Rare portrait. Marine - NSKK. Cheers, Larry

Really nice photos showing a mixture of TR organisations and services. The last photo posted by Martin W is especially nice. SS, LW Flak and Deutsche Reichsbahn with Electrotechnical badge on left sleve. Here are the other DR specialist badges up to 1941. http://antique-photos.com/en/unidatabase/third-reich/431-specialist-patches-of-reichsbahn.html Cheers, Larry

Thank you gentlemen for your nice comments. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Thank you. Wow, very nice Kadett patches for the field-gray uniform. They are also hard to find, especially in very good condition as your patches are. Cheers, Larry

Colourised this portrait today. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Thanks for posting another great photo to this thread. Cheers, Larry

Another addition to my pre-1940 patch collection. Hand embroidered and used Stab (Staff Personnel) patch for the white uniform. Hard to find. Cheers, Larry

Thank you very much Morten and Martin. I am very happy to have this photo in my collection. Here is what is written on the back. Cheers, Larry

Thanks Morten. Here is a recent addition to my collection. It shows a Bootsmannsmaat wearing the metal version of the Bootsmann patch. Underneath are the pre-1940 Fla. -E- Messer (AA guns rangefinder operator), Fla. Maschinenwaffenschutz (Gunner anti-aircraft weapons) and bottom is the Sperrvormann (Blockade weapons foreman) badge. In the photo he has been awarded the EK 2 medal and has earned a Minesweeper badge. He must have seen action early in the war as he is still wearing pre-1940 trade badges. I guess transition to after 1940 badges took some time to implement. Cheers, Larry
