Opinion on Obergefreiter Rank

[StuG III]

I would like you to please tell me what you think of this item. It is an obergefreiter rank with subdued luftwaffe style tress and stitched onto what looks like a black herringbone twill material. Any and all opinions welcome. Thank you

Hi Tom,

Probably sewn on dark green (does not look black on my screen) HBT and probably original. All of these I have seen have this luftwaffe type tress, except one I saw with blue KM tress. Mostly you see them on pale tan HBT and I have a few of these. Sometimes the tan ones are claimed as luft tropical, but without the history, they are for the HBT work outfit.

Looks good to me,the top picture looks like black background on my screen and the next picture looks blue/grey in colour?

Thanks Jerry. It is definitely black, the second photo is lighter because it was auto corrected on Windows Photo Manager.

Hello,
It looks like an Obergefreiter rank chevron for the Luftwaffe HBT mechanics overall.

Indeed, I could not remember what it would be for.
