Early Heer shoulderboards - Opinions please

[320]

Hello,

I have an early Kradmantel (bought on the e-stand) that I would like to complete with shoulderboards. The idea would be to have something close to this :



On this picture, shot in the Ardennes in June 1940, the feldwebel has pointed shoulderboards on his Kradmantel.

I am currently looking at 2 pairs in order to buy one, could you please have a look and advise if there are any thoughts ?

Pair 1





Pair 2

My favourite, I think it has a nice patina :





Thanks a lot in advance for your opinions !

Cheers,

They both look real, the 2nd pair is very short and may not fit on a Kradmantel, overcoats etc. usually required longer straps, the second set is for a smaller size soldier's tunic.
