Strange construction, looks like late-war, but LW tresse..?..
So, Luftwaffe Panzer..?..HG..?..out of my league, unfirtunately..
I cannot say if they are original or not..I am sure others can..

Hello Wobe;
The Heer and Waffen-SS did use the Luftwaffe "waffle" style tresse,
but silver not this gray thread.
As Hans said, construction is "Odd", and the pink piping appears to be
reproduction that has appeared in recent years.
The pips are also suspect; the brass pins are probably very rigid & strong,
very hard t bend over.
My opinion is that they are not original wartime made.
As I've said in the past, collecting shoulder straps has become a minefield!
Plenty of original ones available, but the current repros are good, so be careful!
