Guys,
The piece started as a Navy; with better pix, I could perhaps shed more light on it...but it has been rebarreded,,,So how can we still call it a navy? Very simply because the property mark on the front strap indicates service in the Weimar Navy. It was very likely used by the Kreigsmarine, but there are no obvious indications.
Two tours in German naval service should constitute a sufficient pedigree to warrant calling the piece a navy, despite the Versailles-era mods.
