Luftwaffe Tropical Shoulder Straps

[John Hodgin]

Unique, have never seen anything like them before.


A blue-grey buckle which was khaki painted for tropical uniform wear. So, can believe that blue-grey shoulder straps were altered too.

Just arrived: A pair of EM Flak boards.

Nice! For the shirt!

[FS154]

Good or fake?

Yes, I needed a pair for an Afrikakorps Luftwaffe Flak mannequin (which I probably will never finish due to lack of space ... )

Glad to get this EM pair relatively cheap, usually You find tropical Flak boards only for NCOs or not made of shirt fabric. Or too expensive.

I think they are good but I am not an expert on tropical boards. Perhaps John Hodgin can take a look?

Hello Steve! Have been away traveling, quite busy and often with little or no cell service so no internet. Sorry for the delay.

I like yours Steve.

FS154, not sure. The construction looks good, but would like more details for a better informed opinion. Have never seen any quite like them before.

Best to all,
John
