There are many threads on this topic. They are good reading.

IMO from a purist perspective these boards are Bau, but also IMO, they were used interchangeably in service. Both types are rare.

Reproductions imo.

From these pics they look like originals to me.

[brooksbz]

They are a bit odd and mismatched. I'm with OSS.

Mismatched is good with these (wool piping ones).

LIGHT Brown was used by pre-1936 signals and also Bautruppen,
but I agree with OSS that these straps are Repros.

I too would pass on these....

[afrikasandman]

I just saw the color comment, I would tend to lean with the others that they are reproductions. Decent but still repros in my opinion. Matt
