SS Officers boards waffenfarbe

[Dennis S]

Can anyone please give me an opinion on these shoulder boards.
What color waffenfarbe is this supposed to be?
Do they appear original?
Thanks

They look the weinrot of Nebel Troops. Of course, I have seen Vetenary Troops waffenfarb that looked almost the same color when showing age and wear.

My first thought was possible "Horse Doctor" for the SS Main Riding School . . .

Bob, Would that be the same color as for Hauptamt SS-Gericht? I have a named
tunic that needs boards for a member of that branch.

To me, that would call for a color indicative of a "Judicial" branch within the SS . . . and correct me if I am wrong, but that would be a "bordeauxrot" farbe . . . as I see the photos on my screen at home, these look much closer to a "karmesinrot" colored farbe for Veterinary troops to me. Of course, in time, I'm certain each of these colors can become quite subjective on authentic boards - left open to multiple interpretations by the respective viewer.

If you truly need a set of boards for a member of the Judicial branch of the SS, why not accept these as so? That branch, and it's respective color of (waffen)farbe is so obscure, who do you think could definitively argue against it?

Sorry - just have to ask: you wouldn't be a Konrad Morgen fan, would you?

I had to search the threads for Konrad Morgen , thats an interesting story.

This is the reason I am looking for the proper color boards. See this thread for the tunic I would like to restore.

You have to read the whole thread. The tunic was originally found stripped of insignia except for the rank tab.
