Shoulder Boards and Collar tab for review

[Brian k]

I have a few shoulder boards and a collar tab for review. I have a good feeling the Feldwebel and Police(?) shoulder boards is real not sure about the rest. I don't even know what the HA one is possibly some sort of early shoulder board which I probably posted in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated.

The Kav board and the police tab and board are good with out a doubt. Not sure what the other one is. Matt

The "VH" on the artillery strap stands for "Versuchsabteilung Hillersleben", the Army proving grounds at Hillersleben, much like our Aberdeen proving grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland. It looks to be a good one.

Thanks for the feedback and also thank you for letting me know about the Hillersleben shoulder board and what it was actually for.

I'd like to see some better pics of the Versuchskommando Hillerseben strap. The VH device was instituted on 31 March 1938, so it is on the correct style of strap, which bodes well. Here is one for comparison....
