M44 Pionier shoulder boards with brown HBT backing

[Maxoumilitaria]

Hi guys,

I would like your opinion on this pair of M44 shoulder boards. I already have some with a HBT backing but none of them with such a brown material.

Also, as you can notice, a different thread has been used for each board.

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Best,

Max

Nice original ones ! thicker piping used on late war boards .
The brown material is actually a stripe of cloth like the stripes used for the LW Fliegerbluse or Pz jackets in the back, only a bit wider .
It's common to see that type used to produce this type of boards .Many variations observed ! Blue,green,french green Tresse...
