Stabsdienst Wachregimenter

[Jan Klaassen]

'nAbend genossen!

I was wondering: what did EM's, ranked soldat-stabsgefreiter, wear as trousers with their stabsdienst-uniform?
Would that be usual officers trousers with white piping? Or these:

Even though Gowen states it's not sure...?

I do have two uniforms, one Wachrgt.FD, one NVA Wachrgt., that I would like to complete with a pair of trousers. So, as I haven't been able to find the direct answer, could someone tell me what pair to buy?

Thanks

Gowen ought to know this by now... Bernhard seems to have no doubt:

Yes those are the right trousers for Stabdienst and Ausgang for soldiers and short term NCOs of all three Wachregiment. Certain things did not change across the three. Obviously any professional NCO and above would wear the white piped trousers.

Thanks! I was confused, but now it's clear ^^
