Not specialist insignia but insignia worn by WM sport teams. Anchors on shorts: the two at left were worn by enlisted men and NCO's, the one second from right with a border was worn by officers.

LarryT Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks Morten. Here is a recent addition to my collection. It shows a Bootsmannsmaat wearing the metal version of the Bootsmann patch. Underneath are the pre-1940 Fla. -E- Messer (AA guns rangefinder operator), Fla. Maschinenwaffenschutz (Gunner anti-aircraft weapons) and bottom is the Sperrvormann (Blockade weapons foreman) badge. In the photo he has been awarded the EK 2 medal and has earned a Minesweeper badge. He must have seen action early in the war as he is still wearing pre-1940 trade badges. I guess transition to after 1940 badges took some time to implement. Cheers, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on your new purchase for your already great collection. I placed more bids on photo but it became too expensive but I'm glad you received the award on your bid. Cheers, Morten.
