SS Leutnant Panzer Shoulder Boards: opinions

[Achille]

Hello,
I would like to ask what do you think about this SS Panzer Officer shoulder boards. I don't know what the "k" ciphers means, anybody knows?
Thank you very much,
Achille

You need better close up photos than these... pay particular attention to a close up of the waffenfarben.

The K is for Kraftfahrtruppen and the pink waffen farbe was worn with this service in the SS. Although most books say light pink was the correct color it probably wouldnt be unusual that varying shades of pink were worn just as in the Heer Gebirgsjaeger units where you often see differing shades of green used. Whether the boards are original or not I cant tell by the pictures.

Pictures are much too blury and small, but the ciphers look like they were added very recently...

Can you post better quality, larger images?

Rob

[Achille]

Gentlemen, thank you very much for your reply. I'm sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, I will post some better soon.

The waffenfarben looks RED in all the photos except the last one where you can see a little of it from the bottom view --- it's pink there no doubt. So the photography is also distorting the colors.

I don't know why, buy all the pictures I takes are orrible, I will try with another camera. The waffenfarbe is absolutely pink, and the shoulder boards are really not so shiny..

From the pictures provided, I would pass on them.
