Now back to a point that i was looking for an explanation about the fact that these stag grips Cutlasses sometimes are found with higher/senior rank portepees(which in all regulations would fit lower ranks and that would mean full green portepee instead of the silver with green stripes).
Well Wilhelm Saris came up with regulations of the Luftwaffe Forestry,when i showed my Forestry items ( shoulder boards etc) and i noticed that the stag cutlass was wearing a senior portepee!!
The regulations on the left side stated that issued or awarded cutlasses are be allowed to wear when the owner joined the Luftwaffe Forestry service, the document even shows a subordinate/lowerrank cutlass with a senior rank portepee!
Thx Wilhelm,i love these little details!
Gents credits for these regulation scans go to Wilhelm, Thx!
Regards,
Ger
