    GD shoulder boards

    I have a technical question here

    On a doctor (officer) of the GD, what devices are expected to be on the shoulder boards? Both the GD ant the medical one or only one of them?
    A pic would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Francois:
    Now you are talking something I know about.

    I have seen one picture of a named medical officer that served in the GD. He was a Hauptmann and clearly used the medical blue piping, two pips, metal GD cypher, but no medical "cadeusus" device.

    However, in my collection I have a set of Hauptmann boards. They are medical blue piped, standard size GD cypher, two pips and the medical cadeusus. It is all very tight on the boards. 100% original to them as the boards are very, very field worn.
    I amtraveling right now but will be happy to post a scan by
    Saturday when I get home.

      Those were very naughty doctors then! I don't know about "GD," being elite etc, but commisioned medical personnel should only have worn their branch device. same with paymasters etc with their "HV" device.

        Francois and Rick:
        I am back from several weeks of traveling and just now able to get to psoting the straps that I promised you I would. I do not know who these belonged to, but there is no doubt in my mind that they are 100% original. Clearly, the guy who owned them had a tough time fitting it all on. Hope this answers your question Francois.

        Ciao"

          Thanks Scott,
          This answers exactly to my question and your pics are exactly what I meant by fitting both on.
          Again, many thanks
