Guest Rick Research Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 The insignia you show is the sleeve insignia worn above rank stripes for a Kriegsmarine Sperr branch (W) officer.Here is an old scan of an Imperial Petty Officer photo like yours--I'll come back and replace this with a better new one.

Guest Rick Research Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 This has a Cuxhaven photographer's address on it--There is no date, but it is inscribed from Claus Sandkamp "and bride" to "my dear friend Paul and bride."This photo isn't in as good condition as yours-- some water spots and stray ink splotsI'm surprised to see the gun crew specialty above his mine rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks for the picture Rick!This is my collection area (mines) and the men who worked with them.VinceWow, I've never seen that insignia. Actually, navy insignia and photos are uncommon in my years of collecting. I don't see much Navy militaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you often collect navy items? Imperial and 3rd Reich Navy are areas I've always had interest but I'v never ventured into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taucher Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 ccj,Most of my collection is navy related.I have a special interrest in the german navy during WWI and that in the small units who worked allong the Belgian coast.The most known of that period are the submarines and that's where most collectors are found.I am interrested in the small units working in the harbours and on the coast laying and recovering mines and naturely the mines especialy.vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
