The Prussian Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello! I wonder about the Stabsfeldwebel. That rank didn´t exist in the german navy. The Stabsfeldwebel was introduced in 1938! Well, the straw-hat was stil in use at african stations and on surverying ships in the south seas. The branch-patch is, if it is golden: Oberschreiber, Obermeistermaat or Obersanitätsmaat of the "Matrosendivisionen" If it is silver: Schreiber, Meidstersmaat or Sanitätsmaat of the "Werftdivisionen" But I just see, the "pennnats" of the crown are quite short. They don´t reach the width of the ancor, so it probably is silver, which indicates him as an "Oberbottelier" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 The sleeve patch is most certainly not a metallic one on this work jumper. The color of the crown with ribbons and anchor have to be yellow, which indicates the branches that the Prussian has listed for golden.
