The Prussian Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 That?s right. The rings are the sogn for NCO?s.

Naxos Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wedding RingIn Germany one would wear the ring on the left ring-finger for the duration of the engagement and at the wedding the ring is switched to the right ring-finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naxos Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Does he mean the ring at his fingers or the rings above the cuffs???You're right, the single tresse on the cuffs is: Feldwebel Edited March 24, 2009 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 No, that?s not true. The single Tresse could be Unteroffizier, Sergeant or Vize-Feldwebel. He has a button at his collar, so it?s a Sergeant or a Vize-Feldwebel. You only can drclare it, if you see the Troddel. The Vize-Feldwebel wore the Officers-Portepee. The Feldwebel had two Tressen above the cuffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes. The Etatm??iger Feldwebel is the Feldwebel. In germany we make the difference between Feldwebel and Vize-Feldwebel. The "Etatm??iger" is just a part of his rang, but no one uses it. Sometime?s one says for Feldwebel: The "Etatm??iger" or just "Feldwebel", but seldom one uses both words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
