    Hi Laurence,

    I somehow have missed looking thru this entire thread until today. You have really added some great tabs to your collection! I, like Paul aka "Peter", am envious of your Reserve tabs and musician tabs (quite rare :beer: )

    Paul, I saw your comment on "getting all of the tabs"...don't foget to leave some for me!

    Leutnant:

    They could hold a number of different positions depending on the level of the career. An officer would only start in the medium career level.

    Officials of the Medium or elevated careers who were on temporary service until their final appointment as lifetime officials were identified by the prefix "a.p." or "ap", meaning "extraordinary" (ausserplanmassig)

    Here are a pair listed as Corps of Engineer, however if you read Vol 2 pg 114, it states that their SB's have a Pink waffenfarbe underlay not a green waffenfarbe and a Pink nebenfarbe?

    I believe these would be for the following:

    Photo Service (Bilddienst--Bi);

    Motor Transport Service (Kraftfahrdienst--K);

    Ordonance Service (Waffendienst--W);

    Weapons and Ammunition Service (Waffen- und Munitionsdienst-- W.u.M.);

    Technical Aircraft Service (flugzugtechnisher Dienst--Fl) also termed Flugzugdienst;

    Cartographic Service (kartographischer Dienst);

    Lithographic Service (lithograpischer Dienst.
