Adler the lowest in the hierarchy of military officials who served on active duty in the army.
Alan thank you for your opinion.Wappen is identical to adler pioniere and I think a lot of them are on pickelhaubes with a filed small eagle.Now this wappen is rare.Very nice wappen, congratulations!
First time that I have seen this in the enlisted or lower rank version. I have an officer version in my collection on a helmet.
Best Regards,
Alan
Sandy in the forum gave a quote from the book."The administration of the army was carried out by a paymaster, who was descended from the old "accountants." The Senior Paymaster (Oberzahlmeister) and Paymaster (Zahlmeister) were military officials (mid-level clerks), while the Subordinate Paymasters (Unterzahlmeister) were soldiers. In general, the Senior-Paymaster was responsible for the staff, and the Paymaster was responsible for managing the clothing, for each battalion or department, and the Sub-Paymaster as "treasurer." Cavalry regiments had only one Paymaster-Officer and one Sub-Paymaster, while Engineer Battalions had 2 Officers and one Sub-Paymaster.Greetings,
the Unterzahlmeister was not a military official, he was a serving soldier in the rank of a Feldwebel. And as such he did not wear the Beamtenabzeichenon his helmet plate. Only on appointment to the rank of Zahlmeister did he cease to be an active soldier and become a military official. This from appendix 6 to the AKO of 1 June 1906 concerning the uniform of the newly created rank of Unterzahlmeister.
Translated as:
Helmet: As per the Zahlmeister, however without the Official insignia on the helmet plate and with retaining studs (Kopfsplinten).
