ccj Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 That's a very nice photo. I wonder if he wears an officer's feldzeichen. It doesn't look enlisted in pattern.
v.Perlet Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't really know but I think as a Vizefeldwebel he wouldn't have been entitled to wear an officer Feldzeichen. The only exception I am aware of, permitting officer like attributes are pertaining to Feldwebel-Leutnants. Since you are into uniforms the attached file in regards to dresscode regulations for Officers might be of interest to you - hopefully your German is "reasonably good"?
