Its thats time again, yes yet another insignia postion question.
This time its.................... the positioning of the eagle and totenkopf on a M43 ski cap, maybe a pic?
Cheers again 
, and it will end soon promise 
I've done mine as I've seen it - EKII in front. I guess the most important should be shown off.
As with everything to do with German insignia it's never that simple. From Wehrmacht Awards:
Active duty personnel would wear only the ribbon from the second button hole in the tunic. This place was normally reserved for the Iron Cross and/or War Merit Cross 2nd class and if any of these awards were also bestowed the recipient could wear both ribbons or place the Eastern Medal on a ribbon bar. Though widely distributed, the Eastern Front Medal was held in high regard and it can sometimes be seen outranking the War Merit Cross 2nd class.
Hehe theres never a simple answer is there.
With regards to rank pips what colour should i use on a Hauptsturmfuhrer uniform, as i have seen pictures of shoulder boards with both gold and silver pips, which is correct?
two gold on the shoulder boards
cheers thats what i had ordered!
While i'm thinking about it i have a query on positions for insignia on an officers m43 cap, bought the cap with insignia from anthony, eagle and totenkopf, but not sure of placement, do they both go at the front, eagle above the totenkopf, or is it eagle on the left side of the cap with totenkopf at the front, should there be an eagle on either side, or was it just one if this is the correct way?
I dont want to go stitching it on and find out its wrong, so all help is great
up to you - either all on front - eagle above, or eagle on left - just don't go for two eagles on either side
Cheers for the advice JD, will go for both at the front i expect, prefer how that looks!
