    Great photos!!!!!

    Is the ring on his left hand a military-theme ring? That would be "sehr kühl".

                        Last year I posted a photo of RKT Gerhard Bremer wearing a very strange set of Oak Leaves attached to the KC.

                        Now, I've found a photo that could explained that rare piece.

                        What are your thoughts? The one of Bremer seems to be "reverse" to the standard issue.

                          I looks to me, that Bremer wears oaks with an attached ring on the top and an additional loop for the ribbon ???
                          But the picture has not the best quality, so very strange to me.

                            Yes, that is exactly what is is. Why ? sure would like to get a look at this modification he had done. Very strange, as is the one below in the photo on Sepp's post. These guys did whatever suited their needs is all I can determine. No end to our questions and so few answers. Tom
