House-of-History fake shoulderboards

[Hans Kristian]

Hello All,

I am in a way asking your opinions on these shoulderboards I bought from the House-of-history. I have no previous expirience with this shop, but what I recieved is CLEARLY REPRODUCTIONS

I bought these EM shoulderstraps medical, they have cardboard (!!) inside, and the stiching is really hilarious.!!.

And these feldwebel boards, fake as well...

Also really bad stiching and wrong blue color..shame on him..

I have written to him, Kai winkel, to ask for a return. I am sure he will not.

Cheers,
hans Kristian

Many original tailor made straps do have cardboard inside. I don't know if those are reproductions or just poorly executed period private made straps - In any case not typical or desirable.

However, the second pair, the Unteroffizier Straps are period made, IMO.

I agree on the cardboard. After the War started many types of boards had paper or cardboard inserts, especially tailor-made examples with non-standard piping and materials. That alone does not kill them.

Id definately return them.

Hello all and thanks for the input.

I have discussed with the seller, and he claims that they are late-war.

I never saw any boards like these, so maybe he is right.

I agree with John and the others. Late war eh? did he mean Desert Storm?
