17 mm Shoulder Board Buttons - Post War/Repro?

[checkit]

Hello all. I received these shoulder board buttons along with some original boards. I don't like them at all, but would appreciate some expert opinions. They look to me to be what Reddick's sells.

Any thoughts at all on this?

Agree, the circular base is used on post war (and current) Bundeswehr buttons.

By the way, I just checked the back of the screw buttons of my uniform shoulderboards (Bundeswehr Luftwaffe), they are marked with the Assmann "A" and "17 N".

I think janke used these buttons alot, He for sure used the round bases on all his officer tunics.

Modern German ones are 17mm & so marked,,,, correct WW2 size is 16mm. My originals are 16mm, & usually marked as such.
