Hello,
I have bought a Piped Service tunic of an Oberfeldwebel who was awarded with the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold.
His white branch colour indicates that he was part of the Infanterie.
Furthermore he was awarded the Ostmedal and he had a Schutzenschnur with one acorn, and a medium size ribbon bar, the Eisernes Kreuz I and II Klasse and two other awards.
Although it is quite difficult to find out who the owner of the uniform was I think this should be possible.
I have not seen many pictures of soldiers with a Schutzenschnur, (even less with one acorn), especially DKIG recipients.
Does anybody have a clue where I can start to find researching this?
(If anybody allready knows the name this would be perfect haha )
With kind regards,
Koen.
