    2 pairs of shoulder boards...

    Hi,

    I don't normally post in this section as it's not my area. These 2 sets of boards arrived with a group of other items recently and I have no need for them. Thanks to a good link I found in another thread, I think one set of boards is Feuerschutzpolizei, but the other is unknown to me.

    Sorry, but as I have no need for them, this is one of those "are they genuine, what are they worth please?" threads.

    The colours may be unlcear from the scans - both underlays are carmine (possibly pink) with black/silver tops.

    Under UV, the carmine/pink glows orange strongly. I can not see any other fluorescence.

    As for condition, neither set has been worn. The black top set is pretty much "mint". The silver top set would be mint, except for spot of bluish discolouration on one board and a weak yellowish "band" where they were probably kept together with an old rubber band.

    Any help appreciated!

    Regards
    Mike

      Hi Jiri,

      Thanks for that.

      Interesting that they still use wartime-like carmine die, which, like panzer pink, glows orange under UV.
