Well, if it is the Engine branch, it is rare and (to my idea) unpresidented as the obvious reference books do not mention it. The only thing that springs to mind with me is possibly a Fähnrich of the Engine branch. Intreagueing!

A closer view but very blurry.

Cheers,

Larry

I think Engine. Shoulder strap is a little hard to see. Here is another photo of him in the blue uniform.

Hi Larry,
Your new beautiful and rare pictures are an important addition to this good thread. Am a little surprised with little comments on the thread as so many people stop by and see. These days the Forums are better than Facebook which limits the posting with many things they can not stand this I understand but one must be able to show whole items.
 

Best,Morten.

Thanks for the kind comments. I agree about FB. I don't like the censorship.

Cheers,

Larry

And the hits just keep on coming - very nice pics Larry!

Interesting observation Morten, but do we do this chasing comments or because we want to share our collections? We've kept it going, 24 pages of wonderful information, and that's a fact.

Hi Odulf,

Thanks. I agree 100%. More to come.

Unterseebootsflottille Weddigen.

Here is a rare tally. Even rarer to see a photo of it in wear. Schulboot Nordsee.

 Nordsee was in service under that name for only six and a half months and had a crew of approx. 50.

Larry

Nice stuff Larry!

The Captain (pitty we doe not see his face) is not of the Coatal Artillery but of the Fleet, so probably a harbour connandant of one of the larger harbours, by the look of the buildings i suggest La Rochelle, Calais, or another larger harbour.

Thanks Odulf.

There are three photos in the series and two have a better view of the Kapitan zur See's face. Maybe someone knows who he is.

Another photo showing canvas gaiters in wear.

Cheers,

Larry

Thanks Larry, could be a thin chain, indeed, for a whistle, whach or stop-watch. In general the whistle is tuched away in the breast pocket. This is fastened to the button in such a manner that the pocketflap cannot be opened without removing the ring of the chain/cord, so I presueme it is for a temporary purpose.

I agree, most likely a watch or stop-watch. Here is a photo of a whistle cord tucked into the breast pocket.

Hi Morten, a very nice portrait! Could jou please post a close up of the shoulderboard? 

On the left lower cuff visible, the double yellow/gold tapes of a Ober-/Hauptfeldwebel acting as Kompanieoberfeldwebel (Spiess) [Company Sergeant-Major / Warrant Oficer Class II).

The Kriegsmarine-Schiessauszeichnung (Marksman cord) is of blue wool, acorns in black,silver, gold to indicate class, not often seen on the feldgrau Naval tunic.

Fantastic photo Morten, thanks for posting it.

Cheers,

Larry

Nice one Larry ( with 2 KM Abzeichen!), is he wearing canvas anklets, and is that a little chain dissapearing into his left lower pocket?

So that's a bit of a puzzle still. Thanks for your reply!

It is a cord which is attached to the button on his top left pocket and runs down inside the bottom left pocket.

a cord attached to a whistle perhaps.

Another for the thread.
