    Tropical Unteroffizier shoulder straps

    These arrived yesterday and I'd be grateful to receive any feedback on them. Assuming they're good, I'd also like to get opinions on the branch color. I know the "shades of green" debate has raged on for years, but am curious what others make of this particular shade.

    This excellent thread by Tim O'Keefe was helpful, but I'm still undecided https://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/for...nd-the-balkans

    Thanks!

        Agree, can you get a refund?

        This pair has provenance to a member of Sonderverband 288, note the differences in construction with your pair.

          Do not remain undecided, return them for a refund. Today.

            I agree; getting a refund is recommended.

              I agree with the other negative comments and do not like them. Reproductions in my opinion and experience,

                Thanks very much for the feedback everyone. Returning these for a refund shouldn't be an issue. I'm attaching a scan for one last look, but it seems we've reached a consensus. Also apologies to Tim for calling him Tom, the edit function isn't letting me change it!

                  No problem at all. I've been called much worse here on the WAF
                  If i had to make the call on the piping which is not what i would expect, would say Jager green compared to Glen's Outstanding MG's green set.

                  Thanks for the compliment on the "Waffenfarbe used in Afrika and the Balkans" thread. It was fun putting that one together.

                  Here is another thread that may help with tropical straps...

                  A set of original unteroffizier straps for comparison.

                    Thanks Tim, the other thread is definitely helpful as well. Still learning what details to look for when it comes to these straps, glad the forum is here to help.
