Thank you.
Few know the badge so (emaliiert in German), it was only at the most important men of the greyhounds give.I know no second cap. only this.

Nice hat--it may be the one he is wearing in this picture:

BTW, did you buy the rest of the set?:

[asterperious]

I had one about 25 years ago. I traded it to Kenny Andrew in Glasgow in 1998. The 116th panzer grenadier was a pretty exceptional unit. From Angolia's books I was under the impression all officers in the unit and senior nco's wore the device.

hi
the rest of the set is in England.The man on the phto is Schmeermann.

@asterperious.......all officers,i think no.

Marcus, I forgot to ask--is the visor an Erel? Looks like the early sweatband.

[MMarcus]

Yes this is a Erel.
