Materials used look all period, construction is ok but something is putting me off ..could be just the way they look in the pictures but the wear/soiling is not consistent IMO somehow appears unnatural like the piping all looks nice and clean while the rest is heavily soiled/stained. It is hard to explain why I don't like them much, I guess it is just my "gut feeling" or maybe It is because I try to compare them to a pair of mine which is in the same condition but "feels" very different. In other words I give them 50/50. Cannot be certain based only on the pics. It depends where they come from, hands-on inspection, etc the construction of these boards is associated with ss panzer - everything of which is heavily faked. So better to stay "extra alert".

Aged reproductions in my view.

Hello Joe;
I agree with Ramsey;
These are repros.

The pips look totally out of place too.
