Not a set I'd feel comfortable owning....

Hello,
I agree with NZ Mark. They are not shoulderstraps I would want in my collection. I have seen better fakes than those as well.
Thank you,

Hi,

Friend of mine bought similar boards from Austria. They had red piping, and they were terrible in live, too.

Orange piping is the rarest piping/ soutache color for German tropical WH and hence one of the mostly likely to be reproduced. When one sees orange then one should always think "extreme caution".

The ones which started this thread do not match any I have ever had or handled,
