GD Boards for opinion

[DennyB]

Panzerlord, if someone is making reproductions of this quality, wouldn't more of them start showing up? Mark, how long have you had these and how many more have you seen that looked just like them? I still feel these are good.

Gd Straps

I bought them from Weitze 5 years ago They came on a M43 nco tunic. They were described as PG, I Did not know that GD panzer grenadiers wore white at the time. I asked a very advanced collector I knew at the time what they were and based off the pics he said they were "Kradschutzen" and that he had seen a single years before. I took them off the tunic because they had dents in the piping from being tied together as well as the '43 pattern would not be consistent since Gd kradschutzen alledgedly only used this color for a year or so and certainly not past '42. Here's my question; if fake why would these type boards only appear in a branch color whose use in the GD is practically theoretical? why not these same straps in multiple and more desirable branchcolors? Has anyone seen copper brown post '42 kradscutzen Gd straps? I kept them because I liked them and my collector friend said that he liked them and that the division used this color.


Thanks for the input, any further opinions welcome, Mark
