DAK Shoulderboards

[teutonen(Jeff)]

I think I already know the answer on these, but I will ask it anyhow. Original/fake? I got these on an 42 model AK tunic (which is textbook) less these tabs. Aren't these the fakes from the 80s?

Thanks in advance.

DAK straps

Fake in my opinion.

[NZMark]

Yes,
Bogus in all respects.
How 'textbook' is the tunic? Is the eagle original (can we see images?)
Regards,
Mark.

it reminds me a lot of odd shoulderstraps that came out of a french fleamarket ten years ago. Some were made of what was supposed to be brown tropical greatcoat....all crudely made, all with a quite convincing rayon piping.

Thanks guys for the responses. I thought they were, but wanted to doublecheck. Although crudely made, the material was convincing.

Mark, I will post pics of the tunic some time today - I hope I am right in regards to the tunic. I bought the tunic at a Frankfurt show in 1986.

Jeff
