Looking good Colin. My one comment would be that his face is rounder and not as sharp/angular in the painting. I cant really tell if iut is the collar pushing his face up. Looking forward to the finished project. Larry

No, I owe you a thanks. I am familiar with the link you posted, and was in fact trying to find it for you. Seems I lost it. Now I have it saved again. Many thanks Sincerely Larry

K, found something...they are for Strafanstaltsbeamten & Justizwachtmeister. I don't know what era though. Here is a link and the picture posted by me comes from the link: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=258532 Larry

Hi Reg Welcome to GMIC Sorry to disappoint you, however they are not Feldpost boards. Please see the insignia below. The colors used on your example reminds me of the colors used for the Justice department as also show by a pair of boards below. I am sure some one will come along and ID them for you. Sincerely Larry

Must have taken the engraver a couple extra hours on the mold inserting them.......... Larry

Hi Paul Nice board. Here are trades for the white career with a Lower career – unterer Dienst or einfacher Dienst or the Medium career – einfacher mittlerer Dienst or mittlerer Dienst. The latter is more likely the career level for your example. Officials of the medium non technical career Officials of the Lower career of the Food Supply Service and Garrison Admin Intendatur of the medium career Non technical Administration Service (Paymaster Branch) Clothing depots after 1936 Food Supply officials of the lower career Barracks Admin lower career Shop Foreman: Bakery and Milling Service, Clothing Service, and Barracks service. Hope this helps some Larry

Hi Jock Thanks for the info Larry

Now that's interesting. Larry

Interesting. Have you done any type of search into the MM's? Larry

Hello Igor Very nice work, I like the subtle shading. Its small size is gigantic to what I work in. Larry

To do with "Minen" I'll wager Larry

Actually there are only 5 bars that are current. Larry

It is a shoulder board device for the naval officer career Technische-Nachrichtenoffizier Laufbahnabzeichen Technical Communications Officers career Insignia. Larry

Here are a set of tabs for a Wehrerstazwesen or "Recruiting Service" for the HV. These had an Orangerot Nebenfarbe. Hope this helps Larry

Your welcome. Got to get some use out of all these books I have. Larry

They still work for me. Larry

This has been transcribed from the "Heeresverwaltungs-Taschenbuch 1941/42". I do have an English translation from Google I will post if some one is willing to correct it for me....sadly I am weak when it comes to the German language Basically they are responsible for all the Army infrastructure. Be it construction or the maintenance of existing buildings. If I am not mistaken Section 50 describes the area the different career levels are in. Hope this helps some Larry

Very nice Colin All my little guys live in boxes. Much easier to keep them under control. Thanks for the view Larry

As confirmed by the owner of the document, who also owns some of the medals. Once again "Many thanks" Larry
