Küstenarty board to an OB

[Hans Kristian]

Hi all,

I have this, probably late war, KM coastal arty board to an Officer candidate.

The board is reinforced with black pieces of cloth, and this gives it a look like black waffenfarbe, ingineer, but is that the case in reality..?..I cannot find any info on this, I know they had black soutaches on caps but also boards..?..
Ofcourse it makes perfect sense with this board for a OB for the engineers.

Any info much appreciated..

Hans Kristian, those are like mine, for Naval Engineering Units, but the silver tress???

Eduardo, thanks for the input, nice board..

Well, I am sure this must be a Offiziers-bewerber, officer candidate, maybe a recruit fra a technical education joining the navy..or a promising recruit destined to take an engineering education (like the medical offiziers-bewerber).

You are right, but in silver?

You are right, but in silver?

Ah, yes, now I understand your question, yes, you are right, I have a medical one with the yellow tresse...

Hmm..yes, true, strange..and maybe "upgraded"...could maybe be explained by a late-war situation, but still..not regulatory..

Maybe anyone have comments on this..?..

Hallo!
Anbei mein Exemplar.
Silberne Tresse ist vorschriftswidrig, sollte silberne sein.

Some are talking about WH russian volunteers boards with black piping ...
Some says KM engineers troops .
Who is right ?
Many of them came on the market in the 90's .
