Post Your Generalstab Visors

[stonemint]

I thought we had a thread dedicated to these, but it seems we do not (if we do, please direct me to it).


If we don't, we should have a thread dedicated solely to these hats, with their lovely "rivers 'o carmine", so post 'em if you got 'em!

Chris, How do you know he wasn't a Veterinarian?

Regardless, a beautiful hat!

good question

[marcinkappa]

Just to remind you :

EM/NCO visors in that Waffenfarbe are always simply a Veterinarian, as the lowest rank of ANY General Staff officer is Hauptman

There are no differences between Veterinary and General Staff,IMO

[marcinkappa]

Of course ther is no difference.

Please, just read with understanding.
I did not say anything about the Waffenfarbe difference. Because there is no such difference at all.

Once again:

Every EM/NCO visor in this color is always a Veterinarian, every Officer visor in this color is Veterinarian or General Staff.

That is because the lowest possible rank for General Staff is Hauptmann im Generalstab (Hauptmann i. G.).

[marcinkappa]

So to assume, the first posted visor is 50/50, the second visor is Veterinarian.

Both are splendid !

There is an EM/NCO Generalstab-marked hat, but I cannot find it in my files.
In any event, this document shows that there were O/R who were entitled to wear carmine:

Marcin,

I used to think the same thing until Chris posted that page a couple of years ago in another Thread. Since then I have seen a period printed color plate (from around 1936/37 if I remember correctly) that showed an artist's rendition of a Carmine EM strap labeled as OKH.

Nonetheless, I appreciate your comment on my hat.

Best regards!

Bob
