emblem, pennant 139 GJR

[unsam]

Hello.
The history 139 GJR interests.
I wish to make pennant 1/139.
There was an emblem at a regiment?
Whether there is a photo with pennant?
Whether there is a photo of veterans of a regiment and their memoirs.
In advance thanks
Best regards

The badge you have on your site uses the divisional sign for the 3 Gebirgs Division. When GJR 139 (along with a battalion of artillery and a pionier kompanie) left the division in late 1941, the new independent formation Verstärktes Gebirgsjäger Regiment 139, later renamed Gebirgsjäger Brigade 139 'Generaloberst Dietl', used its own unit symbol, the 'Lindwurm'

You will see an example here

That has found all under the links and has united.

1. Till 1942 a sign on 3 divisions
2. The strengthened regiment-? (sign on 6 divisions?)
3. 139 brigade - a dragon

It is correct?

Whether and there was an informal sign or a symbol?
What signs and symbols were by cars and other technics?
Whether there is a photo of these signs and symbols official and not the official?

GJR 139 split from the 3 GD in october '41.

this is from a list of unit symbols dated around mid.1943.

If you're portraying the unit from 1942 onwards then B is correct. A would only be correct during part of 1941 and late 1940, after the Narvikschild was awarded.

Thanks Simon!
Where still to read about regiment?
What else signs and symbols were?
Here all read -

There is still information? (Photo, photo of meetings of veterans, memoirs)

[Simon O.]

A few books to mention.

Krieg in der Arktis by Roland Kaltenegger
Krieg am Eismeer also by RK
Narvik by Alex Buchner

Here's a photo of a GJR 138 truck taken late 1940 in Tromsø, North Norway.
finding photos of 139 vehicles showing their unit sign isnt that easy at all. In august 1944 the brigade only had around 180 motor vehicles of all types.
