Band Sergeant Major

Hi Chris,

I would suspect it is "Hoboist-Vizefeldwebel" - a Band Sergeant Major.

Regards
Glenn

Hi,

is that an official rank?

Thanks
Chris

Some relation to Erwin I wonder?
Incidentally Hermann Historica has Erwin Rommel's driving license for sale in the next catalog

Musician

Hi Gerd,

to the best of my recollection an Imperial German Army term for "Musician".

Best regards
Glenn

Chris,

If I correctly read the many auctions that seller had running, this was part of a group that he split up.

These, I believe, were the others:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...110249158&rd=1
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...110388791&rd=1

Would it be worth contacting the other buyers to see if you can keep the docs together?

I just bought Rommels EK2 doc !!!!
