Paul R Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 How and one distinquish the specific rankings? Are yours for a Hauptman and the first set for an Oberst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Paul, The medical branch had different names for the doctor ranks. Starting at the bottom, there was the Unterarzt, Assistenz-Arzt, Oberarzt, Stabsarzt, Oberstabsarzt, General-Oberarzt, Generalarzt, Obergeneralarzt and Generalstabsarzt der Armee. These were equivalent to army ranks, just the names were different. There were also some wartime ranks added for doctors recalled to service (Kriegs-Assistenzarzt) and Landsturm doctors (Vertragsarzt, Landsturmpflichtiger Arzt in Assistenzarztstelle, Landsturmpflichtiger Arzt in Stabsarztstelle). There were even more ranks created during the war. Here is an early board for the highest medical rank, Generalstabsarzt der Armee.

Graf Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi, This is a nice pair of Marine Medical Officer Epaulettes They are not mine - you can see the name of the dealer who sold the Set Graf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Paul, My board has a black wool underlay. Now that I think about it, with this underlay, the rank is probably Generalstabsarzt der Marine! Graf, The chart in Zienert's "Unsere Marineuniform" shows two ranks that appear to wear the same epaulette with two pips and the fronds (Franzen), Marine-Stabsarzt and Marine-Oberstabsarzt II Klasse. Since the plates are black and white, I cannot tell if there is a color difference that would differentiate the two. I don't see any with the two pips without the fronds/tassels. Perhas it had something to do with the difference between Gala wear and normal dress. Only the lowest rank (Marine-Assistenzarzt) that wore an epaulette is shown without the tassels.
