Hi guys,
I know there are some very experienced shoulder boards and Panzer collectors on WAF and I have some questions about 2 very similar pairs of Panzerpionier boards that came out for sale in the last months:
- On the Collector’s guild: http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Heer/Photos/H032473.html
- During Ratisbon’s last auction: http://www.ratisbons.com/11th-Contem...0281c55618a908
For those who don’t have a login on Ratisbon’s, I posted the pictures below.
Both have the very same construction and display the same Oberfeldwebel rank. The only difference I can spot concerns the pipes, which prongs are not made in the same materials.
Now I’m finally getting to my questions: is there a “known” source for these? Do we know if those are coming from the same soldier? If I think of the number of soldiers who wore the rank of Oberfeldwebel in the Panzerpionier Lehr unit, it must be very very low…
Thanks for any inputs you might have about these boards !
Thanks
Max
