Opinions on M36 shoulder boards

[JanC]

Hello guys,

I have these M36 shoulder boards. One is IMO Artillery and the other one is IMO Panzer.

1. Is this correct?
2. Are they Original?

Thanks for your reply

Cheers

Both shoulder straps are original. the Artillery shoulder strap seems to be a prewar/very early war issue, possibly even tailor purchased, strap which had regimental numbers on it. The other, Pz strap seems to be a early wartime, issue type. The backing materials makes me think that your PZ strap could also possibly be a private purchase item as well. IMHO, Nothing wrong with those two.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. Straps are unfortunately not my area of knowledge.

Best regards
