    Dak shoulder boards opinions please

    Hi Can anybody tell me it the Afrikakorps shoulderboards are good or Bad.
    I was told that they were original Late war tropical straps but I have a bad feeling about them.

    Thank you

    Hi Cliff

    These are not original straps.

            If they are not tropical then this might be the intended purpose;

            "H002171 CAVALRY "WIND JACKET" EM’S SHOULDER STRAPS. (Schulterklappen) Cavalry Wind jacket EM shoulder straps. Light green canvas tops, field grey wool backing to the flip side of the shoulder strap top. Golden yellow wool piping. Nice!

            GRADE ****1/4 PRICE $346.00"

              Then again,

              on this thread we find fake tropical boards sort of made like this from cotton duck;

              http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...+JACKET&page=3

              However I also raised the question, what did the shoulder straps for the tropical Kradmantels made from ersatz cotton duck rather than twill look look like ?

                And they made very rare officer crusher visors in ersatz cotton duck for Kav/ Recon forces 9see link). That would explain the golden yellow piping;

                http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...Niemann&page=2

                However, also an easy fake shoulder board to make with the possibility golden yellow Kav/ Recon being able to command a premium price.

                Interesting,

                  Material and piping are original,
                  atypical for sure, but I am not convinced this pair is a fake...
                  I have seen some years ago the same type (smooth cotton , without wool backing) with medical piping and NCO heer
                  tropical tresse..

                    Agree that the materials look period, have seen similar tongue lining on Luft. FD straps, but the construction does not appear period IMHO.
