interesting in that the board has the gold and silver rayon cords but on the Gruppe color for Alpenland rather than a Waffenfarbe-related underlay. SA insignia is a maze of contradictions.

Interesting pieces! I think it is for a member of SA group staff and in zhat the piping comes in silver or gold - depends on the group. So I think the piping is right.

I've never seen a Muster set of tabs connected to a shoulderboard--usually the tab set would be tied and sealed and either a single or set of shoulder boards would be sealed separately.
By the time this 2nd type board was put into service, I believe the metal oak leaves for the tabs were no longer being produced nor supposed to be used.

alpenland set

yes eb. but i think the individual pieces are period. even tho this style of eichenlaub is not my favorite.

I agree--all of the pieces appear to be original however I would want to look closely at the Muster seal and cording.

The RZM Muster seals I've seen are not cast lead but were made of 2 stamped metal concave discs that were crimped together with the cord running through. The cord also ran through a pierced metal alloy disc with stamped numbering and a date code that identified the item.
I've got a lot of RZM bulletin photocopied files (not as many as I would like) but don't currently have the time to go through to see if there is mention of a seal like this one.

I have a muster NSDAP cap eagle with just the flat lead RZM seal like this and a twine cord (no aluminum disc). RZM on one side - company mark on the other.
