Shoulderboard ID required #1

Can anyone help me please? What type of shoulderboard is it and who has worn it? Is it a SA shoulderboard from the group "Südwest" (southwest)? Thanks for any help

Sudwest was Yellow and Black piping, ill check my reference books if no one else pipes up with the answer beforehand, Sean

Thanks, Sean. The SA group Südwest had according to my information the color orange-yellow, which would match with the color on the shoulderboards in question. Are these SA shoulderboards of a regular Stormtrooper?

This style was for the enlisted and NCO ranks for Südwest.

Orange - yellow was also the color for motor brigade Mitte from 1934 - 1939.

Mitte used black/white piping whereas Südwest had black/yellow-orange piping.

Yes Ivbaust these are for SA Mann to Obertruppfuhrer and the colour Orange for Mitte or Sudwest BUT the piping is the wrong colour for both, Mitte was Black and White and Sudwest Black and Orange, these look on my screen blue and orange, Erich why do you state these are Sudwest with blue and orange piping?

Is it possible the base color is yellow? Looks Franken to me.

That's possible as well--I assumed the photo was slightly reworked, which made the black look blue, but only the person holding it in hand would know for sure.

Thanks a lot to all who contributed. Here´s another photo of the same shoulderboard on a different background. Maybe it´s better to see the colors now. I would say it´s orange-yellow and black.
