LAH boards / cyphers & other cloth

[Milton]

Hello folks. Just in this morning, a small lot of various smalls. I'm comfortable w/ the armbands (Deutsche Wehrmacht and Reichsbahn), but am, of course, not certain about the boards w/ slip-on embroidered LAH cyphers. The boards themselves are black w/ white piping, and the bottom sections are actually a Wehrmacht / Waffen SS gray-green instead of black. I'd appreciate hearing from the SS cloth experts amongst you about these. If they in fact, ARE legit, I'm of the impression that they're quite late war. Thanks!

I agree with felix above, I would also like to see better photo's of the strap piping looks like the ribbed cotton type seen on fake straps

Hello folks and thanks for the comments. I think I may need to post better pix and will attempt to tomorrow. If the cyphers are indeed "bad", could someone post originals for comparison's sake or at the very least impart to me what's incorrect about them? I"ve seen a few of the repro's on line, and these differ from the examples I've seen so far. I'd like to get some more information / details if possible. Thx.

Do a Forum Search and there are dozens of real ones posted previously.

I'll keep on searching. Are you folks of the opinion that the boards themselves have a chance? As for the cyphers, I'm seeing quite a few variations. Is there some tell-tale red flag w/ these cyphers that make them a dead-giveaway? Thx.

LAH cyphers are not even close, sorry.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to correct me BUT the known original Heer M44 straps I own have a BeVo silk strip rather than the HBT material on these straps ... otherwise the construction is identical ?

Thanks for the close ups John. Is it the thickness of the embroidery or some other detail which differs so vastly from the original example(s). I'm trying to glean as much info. as I can as regards the extant variations. The first person to comment on these, informed me that the boards themselves at the very least stand a chance. Is this still the opinion of others here? Thanks again for taking the time to post your examples!
