General's shoulder straps NEED opinion

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Are they original, and if so from what time period in Germany? Also, any estimation of value would be much appreciated.

Hi William, they are not original.

We have some good ones shown on the forum in different threads. Plus this article too:

Maybe not fake at all . . . .

. . . . . but for some Political or Paramilitary group. I would really like to see better scans of these shoulder boards.

Do they have metal wire inside them?

It's easy to tell, just bend them slightly and they will not snap back.
