Brian R Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) A family portrait that includes what appears to be a Saxon in the Reichswehr... it looks like ihe wears multiple LS awards along with is EK and Hungarian Commemorative medal. I cant make out the first - an FAM? Any sense as to his rank? Edited July 15, 2008 by Brian R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Papa's a policeman-- an Oberwachtmeister. I can't tell what kind of policeman without his headgear.Hmm, on second thought, might also be something in the justice department, or customs service.His uniform seems to be close to the Reichsheer one his Sergeant-Candidate son's wearing, so not Blue Police.

Stogieman Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 First medal is probably FAM, nothing else would make sense. Note he is still wearing his bar in pre-1934 precedence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
