EM und NCO-shoulderboards

[madandi]

I got these boards with some other Afrika-shoulderboards. These are posted in the Army-Forum.
Here i want to show you the ss-boards and would like to hear some opnions.
All buttonholes are fine-sticked in the keyhole-style. A look inside show you the threads of the stiching. IMO that means that they was cut first and then they was sewn. In one of the Jäger-boards was a little round cloth-piece still in the mittle of the key-hole.
Let´s start with this boards. They have the basket-weaveing-type paspel

Paspel of the Ari-boards and the last pair. Not sure fi Signal or kavallerie. Something in the middle. Perhaps SS-Flieger

[madandi]

the signalboards are the last ones. Feel free to discuss and if you need more fotos, just let me know.

for me they look super good text book mint!

but what i find very strange is that sooo many have appeared this last mounts in same construction and condition and only enlisted ranks almost, my oppinion based on logic is that somebody provided good materials and photos to someone with good sewing skills
Or someone just found an untoutched stash of them...

Just my two cents

[madandi]

Of course there is a story behind all those boards. But don´t judge the story, judge the boards
Construction is mostly the same, but the material differs form board to board. Different pipings and backings of the boards, for example. Also the lining material of the tongues si sometimes different. They came from the same place there my other Inf and Ari boards is from.
H.U.Rudel has also a good pair of Ari-boards from the same place.
