Panzer ss boards opinions.?

[wisches]

The thing that really bothers me about the boards posted by Gisle is that the button key holes completely lacks the bar tacking at the end of the loops. I have never seen this trait before on any other verified originals. That alone would make my shy away from these boards. Key holes on original boards or straps comes in two versions, proper key holes with bar tacking, or slits (lacking bar tacking).

I think that both examples from M Hritz have the "bar tacked" key holes, and they are different from the shoulder boards in question. The slit style is completely different.

the boards in question look as if they have woollen piping. is this never seen in ss boards?? i know its not favoured but have originals ever been encountered?? the luft tress [or is it early ss?]i'm sure has been seen on originals....
I like the construction but the fact the reverse seems more 'aged' than the front does concern me!!
HELP!!!!

To me, the piping looks perfectly fine. It looks like smooth rayon piping.
