Hi all,

What do you all think ?

Thanks, Jens

Very nice photo
IMHO is the man not Postschutz member, but RMBO official (Reichsministerium für die besetzten Ostgebiete or Ostministerium/ RMO), wearing non-regular Postschutz buckle.

Thanks for that info and the nice comparision pic, looks identical. By the way, what kind of buttons did they wear on the tunic. I noticed there is some kind of eagle symbol on both of the pics.

Thanks, Jens

The hat is actually for Einsatzstab Rosenberg, and appears to be an officer-quality example with bullion insignia, with a chinstrap attached.
This is how the hat looks in color:

Maybe standard German diplomatic buttons ?
Is only my assumption...

Here are 2 officials from the Rosenberg unit:

On the photo is clear visible, that the ERR (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg) members had different form of collar tabs (pentagonal) as RMBO members(quadrangular).

Here are rank insignia of Ostbeamten / RMBO officials :

A - Dienstmütze der Ostbeamten
1 - Reichsminister für die besetzten Ostgebiete [Alfred Rosenberg]
2 - Vertreter des Ministers und Reichskommissars [Alfred Meyer, Lohse, Koch, etc]
3 - Ministerialdirektor, Landesverwaltungspräsident, Generalkommissar
4 - Landes- und Bezirksdirigent
5 - Amtsrat, Landesamtsrat, Bezirksamtsrat
6 - Regierungs-, Landes-, Bezirkssekretär
B - Territorialassistent
7 - Bezirksassistent

Thanks for the additional fotos. Quite interesting. As for the buttons, yes they are the diplomatic type.

My best,
