    SR NCO straps with uncommon Tresse

    Has anyone an example of the Tresse used on these tailor made straps - (I never seen this type before).

    Tresse is woven of non-metallic, white silk thread with high relief diamond pattern.

    Same silk thread as the more common regular diamond pattern non-metalic white Tresse. (See comparison picture below).

    Any opinions are welcome.

    ... back of straps and detail

    The straps, Tresse and piping do not respond to UV light.

      Interesting. I have seen some oddities like this in cases where the tresse has been applied upside-down, the reverse of the tresse is not the same as the front. In any event the tresse and indeed the boards themselves certainly look period to me. There was a lot of variation in the different types of tresse used from 1938-1945.

        Thank you Chris.
        Could it be an upside-down application?

          Hello naxos,
          don't worry about the tresse, you can find some of this variations. I'm not sure if the tresse is an upside-down application, but it's a 100% original variation.

          All the best,
          Andreas

          Here is one of mine with a similar tresse.

              Everything about the boards says "period done." They just used an unusual or seldom seen type of celleon tresse, and I believe it is right side up. Nothing wrong with these boards at all, nice piping too, and as you said, "tailor made".

                Certainly they used whatever was available, LW, Heer, RW pattern, field made, field promotion field added .....
                and tailors probably deviated from regulation patterns with private purchase insignia...

                These are Estonian troops....

                  That image provides new evidence as to what caused the fatal explosion which killed the Šmigun Brothers.

                  I think the boards are fine. I have seen Dutch Tresse use as well.

                      Use of what kind of Dutch Tresse? Never seen the use of Dutch Tresse on shoulderboards or Kragen! Does anyone has a picture of this Tresse in use?

                        Do you mean a period photo or a uniform? This is from a stripped converted Dutch officers tunic set up for a German NCO which is reported to be a type of Dutch Tress but I do not know what branch or its original use.

                              Thanks a lot, Johnny! I'm not an expert at all, but the Tresse seems to be the one for Dutch Naval Officers, Administrative branch. Like nowadays in the Dutch Navy, in time before WWII operational officiers had to were golden Tresse and non-operational officiers had to were silver one's. Thanks for sharing!
