Thank you guys! Would that be a silver CCC or a golden one?

Hello Frank,

in my books and software he is not mentioned to be awarded the golden CCC. So I guess it must be the silver grade.

And he must have been promoted short after winning the KC. Because he got it as a Oberfähnrich and on the picture he is a Second Lieutenant.

Thank you, Sven.
