Artillerie-Prüfungs-Kommission

Nice image Karl. You can see three straps with the history of the APK plus images in my article below if you are interested.
For example, the Artillerie-Prüfungs-Kommission consisted of two specific departments: one for Preußen Feldartillerie (Field Artillery) and Fußartillerie (Foot Artillery), and one for the Kaiserliche-Marine (Imperial German Navy) which included both coastal and naval artillery.
As the Kaiserliche-Marine wore Feldgrau, I think your young man in his tailored M1915 Bluse could be Army, or Kaiserliche-Marine.

Thank you, Tony! And your article on the subject is great! I honestly didn't know about the APK until I got this photo in and figured out what the strap was. Always learning in this hobby!
Fantastic display case! Steve I don’t think I’ve ever seen a APK Majors shoulder board. With that rank, and the 1915 colour, are you able to identify the officer? Or are there several potential candidates?

Hi, maybe someone from the EhrenRangListe 1914/18 ? But I could not identify a clear candidate:

(for the online Ranklist you have to wait a bit until the pages are completely loaded)
Best regards, Jens
