3rd Pattern SS Shoulderstraps For Review

[RoyA]

A friend of mine has asked me to post these straps for review.
They look fine to me but it's not my area of expertise.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment.

I would ask are there known fakes made with these characteristics as exhibited by these straps?

I know that they are at least very close to known orignals, so it comes down (as always) to how good are the fakes of these type straps. The materials, sewing, age, wear and construction look very convincing to me.

The weave of the top side black and the bottom feldgrau look like they could be a little off or at least not the norm for this model. At least most that I have seen have had a weave on the black wool closer to the Dachau black M43 pz caps, this may be slightly off here.

Original "Dachau" produced board (IMO). As bad as these look the copies are worse.
