LW SB Material

[Albert]

Dear All,

This is a first one for me. Did anyone else encounter boards made of this type of cloth; twill rather than wool?

Not Luftwaffe ~ Wasserschutzpolizei!

Hi,

From the type of mateiral and color - slightly lemony I would say these may be Wasserschutzpolizei Majors shoulder boards rather than Luftwaffe Officers boards.

I have a pair of WSP Meisters borads with the exact same underlay.

Hi Diane,

Thank you for your reply. These came from the estate of a LW pilot together with other items and are 100% attributed.

Would a WSP Major board look exactly the same as a LW board with the underlay cloth being the only difference? I was not aware that a difference was established only via the different cloth used. Could you post pics of your boards, please?

Thanks,

Albert
