    A "Feldwebel" in signals would have been a "Wachtmeister."

    Note the buttonhole ribbons-- correct 25mm width EK2 over an as-issued length of 30mm KVK ribbon. :Cat-Scratch: I've never understood why Third Reich awards were issued with 30mm ribbons when 25mm was used for medal bars and buttonhole wear. Never seen this "mix and match" before. :beer:
