Kraftfahrermaat´s Collani/Pea jacket

[danish dragoon]

Here my Kraftfahrermaat´s Collani. The great thing about this jacket is the seldom seen red specialist badge seen on the sleeve.

Jens, another nice Collani, this time a private purchase one probably used as walking-out dress uniform.

The specialist and the career insignias are not correct at the same time IMO, Motor Driver specialist badge was abolished in September 1936, when Motor Transport career was introduced, both together are not correct for me.

You are right about that , but i think you should have a look in the Kriegsmarine Book that you wrote, page 83. There is a period photo of a Verwaltungsmaat wearing his old style Verwaltungs badge ( Discontinued in 1935 ) , but a Kriegsmarine Cap tally on his " Mütze "( Introduced on the 1. of November 1938).

You are absolutely right , but this one matches better with page 115, the specialist bagde wore together with the career insignias introduced latter and that discontinued the use of the first one. Anyway not correct, but you are right that could be at some time.

Eduardo's statement it's about having a badge and a second one wich has replaced the old one at the same time in wear...in the photo it would mean a second verwaltungsmaat badge in the new style in addition.

I think Eduardo is right.

Yes but there never came a Kraftfahrer speciliast badge after that seen on the Collani. So maybe that is why he kept it on his Walkout dress. By the way Eduardo great book!

Thanks mate, much appreciated

Career badge appears to have been applied in an uncommon manner, pinned directly onto the sleeve without a cloth backing.
Technically Eduardo is of course correct but then again, Istranger things have happened I suppose. So as so often, it comes down to your level of comfort with it.
Overall another pretty awesome tunic either way...

With these photos we have the probe that against regulations and probably for a short transitional period, but this was done.

Two specialist insignias that were transformed in career insignias.
