ixhs Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello imperialists ? I got a photocard of a Weimar guy on it. It has no date and wasn`t written. I believe it is an Obersteuermann (in english: helmsman?) with his two anchors on the shoulderboards. Now my question - why does he have collar mirrors ? Is it a mixed uniform - early, or was it normal? Thanks ! zähringer 38.tif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello! To me it´s a photo from the early Reichswehrmarine since november 1919. Then the cocade was introduced. The collar mirrors and the shoulder straps are those from the imperial Marinekorps by removing the imperial crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixhs Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks for showing. At my pic: The 2 anchors - does they mean Obersteuermann, or is it a normal EM`s rank. Edited January 25, 2019 by ixhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hello! I cheked your photo again. I was wrong with Marinekorps. It´s a simple fieldgrey naval uniform since April 15, 1921. (Marine-Verordnungsblatt Nr.10) "Collar with Double-braidings like the early See-Bataillon, without collar-tabs." All NCO and EM had those crossed anchors on ther shoulder-straps. The crossed anchors for helmsmen were worn as an oval patch upon the upper arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
