Hoping someone can help me learn a bit about these boards & patch. Any detailed feedback would be helpful. I'm SS illiterate so any educational comments are welcome. Also, I think I uploaded one photo - anyone tell me how to upload the others

Shoulder Boards & Patch

The boards are a matching pair of SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer (lieutenant-colonel) of Infantry (or Panzergrenadier for the Waffen-SS since they never adopted the Panzergrenadier green branch color). As to the authenticity we would need closer photos of the tops and bottoms. The patch is something I'm not familiar with. It says Innsbruck, which is in Austria.

The Innsbruck patch is for the Austrian Rifle Regiments who were incorporated into the post 1938 Austrian Army Home guard. They were from a long line of marksmen who served the Austrian Army.
