Martin W Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Sorry Morten, just too blurry for me to make out. The badge below the chevrons could be that of a "Blocking Weapons" specialist,but it appears upside down ? Cheers,Martin.
LarryT Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Well, I certainly got the first guess wrong. could the arrowed insignia be Geschutzfuhrer? Insignia is blurred and distorted so it is hard to tell. Cheers, Larry
nesredep Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hello Larry,Odulf,Martin etc! Not easy to get a good scan.This is ma best i hope!
LarryT Posted May 24, 2016 Author Posted May 24, 2016 Hi, Geschutzfuhrer is still my best guess. If you removed the out-of focus haze around the symbol it would look very similar to the Geschutzfuhrer symbol I have posted. Cheers, Larry
