Funny… it is curious to see the old cross of the Prussian navy chewed by what years ago was considered the modern style… do you know, dear Marcus, when this was designed/drawn?
Sorry Michael I don’t have any information on the year of the adoption for these arms.

How does one blazon the crosses? I would say doubly cotised but the outer cottising seems too thin for that.
I leave the blason question to others better suited and add some new arms:
Air Force Flight Safety Office.
Communications and Information Systems Battalion of the I German-Dutch Corps. The Eagle of Germany and the Lion of the Netherlands.
Army Aviation.

From Stephen Slaters Book Living Heraldry, the Arms of the Field Replacement Battalion 24.
"Per pale lyonesse-scrolly"?
They look more like wolves to me. Very clever design, I might add.
Interesting partition… I guess one can have any kind of partition or line pattern and to be honest… why not?
Yes one can be very imaginative with partition lines. Here in Scandinavia for example the Finns created the Fir and Fir-twig partition lines.

Yes they are Wolves a pun on the Garrison Town of the Battalion - Wolfhagen. The Arms was created by Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Lippert, who have designed other arms, like those of the Direction and Replacement Battalion 855 which include a doubble-headed Griffin. Unfortunatly there are no picture of that Arms in Slater’s Book.

Arms of Reservistenarbeitsgemeinschaft (RAG, Reservist Work Community) Drei Gleichen. The Urdy partitionline is a symbol of the so called Drei Gleichen a line of Castles between Erfurt and Gotha from where the RAG has taken its name. The Iron Cross is a Military Symbol and can also be found in the Arms of the German Bundeswehr Reservist Union.
Yes they are very close only the possition of the Colours and the Iron Cross are differenting.
