Field officer ranks (OF1 to OF5), including the officer designated grade <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Oberfähnrich</i></span> (Army: Senior Cadet Sergeant, Luftwaffe: Senior Aviation Cadet, Senior Warrant Officer (Br. Senior Acting Pilot Officer), Navy: Senior Midshipman), have silver-ornamented borders, also made from metallic fabric. </p><p>The metallic fabric ornamental border of the general ranks is made of fire-gilded silver wire. As for the field officer ranks, the ornamental border contains aluminium. A similar piping is employed on other uniform parts as well, e.g. on collar points of the service uniform jacket for officer ranks including <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Oberfähnrich</i></span> (Army and Luftwaffe), or on the peaked cap (<span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Schirmmütze</i></span> in German) or mountain cape (German: <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Bergmütze</i></span>). </p><p>Most officer designated ranks (Army and Luftwaffe) already have this particular silver metallic tissue border on epaulettes, next to the lower end of the mounting loop. The only exception to this is the Oberfähnrich shoulder strap, to be worn on service and dress uniform. This particular epaulette has the silver piping on its outline, indicating the officer's career, but lacks the bronze-coloured edging that usually borders the centre part of NCO-rank insignia, as opposed to the service uniform epaulettes of a <a href="/wiki/Hauptfeldwebel_(rank)" title="Hauptfeldwebel (rank)">Hauptfeldwebel</a> (Staff Sergeant/First Sergeant, OR-7). However, rank badges on the mounting loops of Hauptfeldwebel and Oberfähnrich are identical. </p><p>Designated officers of OR-1 rank wear simple silver mounting loops on the otherwise empty epaulettes. A silver cord on the lower end of the mounting loop is usually worn in the Army. Alongside is another loop of corps colour, which indicates the membership to the appropriate branch of service, special force or assignment. The visible, silver-coloured stripes are essential in order to differentiate from equivalent NCO ranks, because an officer candidate with the rank of "<a href="/wiki/F%C3%A4hnrich" title="Fähnrich">Fähnrich</a>" (Army: Cadet Sergeant, Luftwaffe: Aviation Cadet, Warrant Officer, Navy: Midshipman) may not yet have professional knowledge about his future troop type, whose colours he is already wearing, as opposed to a "<a href="/wiki/Feldwebel" title="Feldwebel">Feldwebel</a>" (Sergeant, OR-6). This is an issue solely related to specific service requirements, since formally, these ranks (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Fahnenjunker" title="Fahnenjunker">Fahnenjunker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Unteroffizier" title="Unteroffizier">Unteroffizier</a>) do not differ in their position in the command chain. </p> <ul><li>OR5: <a href="/wiki/Fahnenjunker" title="Fahnenjunker">Fahnenjunker</a> versus <a href="/wiki/Unteroffizier" title="Unteroffizier">Unteroffizier</a></li> <li>OR6: <a href="/wiki/F%C3%A4hnrich" title="Fähnrich">Fähnrich</a> versus <a href="/wiki/Feldwebel" title="Feldwebel">Feldwebel</a></li> <li>OR7: <a href="/wiki/Oberf%C3%A4hnrich" title="Oberfähnrich">Oberfähnrich</a> versus <a href="/wiki/Hauptfeldwebel_(rank)" title="Hauptfeldwebel (rank)">Hauptfeldwebel</a></li></ul> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerycaption">Rank insignias (epaulette / mounting loop) for officer aspirant (OA) ranks</li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;
