Hello KM Sonderfuherer used an anchor on the collar patches as emblem with most unifomrs, and rarely used the borads, only with coats. Here you have an example.

I have Angolia's books but, he mentions 5 different post groups
C , O, Z ,K, & B. none of which had a specific rank till 1940 (equivalent rank).
plus in his information (which was limited) describes what sounds like a skinny version (which the army & luftwaffe used) BUT , the navy used for officer candidates.

Plus he states below the 1 photo , the device was for war time created men; & does not mention it at all in the text.
Must be some original documents / charts of these men , Specially since this was newly created in 1938.

point blank , I'm working on a book of All third reich rank insignia , currently on the navy.
Just want my book to be better than what's out there.

just in general ,seems few collect kriegsmarine.
well, thank you to both of you for helping me out on this.

Jeff, I could be wrong but a Sonderfuherer is not a rank but a "special" military situation, with same badges but differrent ranks. In the KM as you know tyou can find them with the anchor on the collar from a junior NCO to an officer. So if you are working only on the rank badges this would not be there.

They have very interesting NCO(Chief Petty Officer) level boards.

There is a KM section for the forum as well. More people may see this there.

Can you post the specific Order #'s that Angolia quotes, i.e. Hv 39B, No. 100. I can then dig them out for you....

Unforuanately Angolia's Kriegsmarine series is the one set I don't have.

So sollte ein Sonderführer-Kragenspiegel für feldgraue Uniform der KM aussehen:
