Are these good? This would be my first shoulder board purchase! Thanks for your assistance!

I'd say that was 'Toxic Green' for SD.

Is that a good thing?? Or bad??

Bad – if you are looking for Gebirgsjäger.

But, seriously, the difference can be very hard to tell.

[sam1chlt]

What would these be....in your opinion? Again...I am very new with these! Thank you!

Sam

[Ludwig]

IMO could be any of the two branches mentioned, but I guess that Ian is more experienced than I?

[Ian Hulley]

I doubt that, but it looks Toxic to me ?

[sam1chlt]

Here are 2 more pictures.

Id say Gebirgsjaeger. nice ones.

I doubt that, but it looks Toxic to me ?

Can you show us what you mean is Gebirgsjäger green, please?

[Ian Hulley]

Not to hand but a softer, lighter green with less blue tint in it.

I doubt that, but it looks Toxic to me ?

Looks Giftgrün to me as well. This can be difficult to determine. I enclose a photo of another green board and here colour is completely different. I don`t know anything about this single board. Perhaps Gebirgsjäger green?

Thank you for all your post. This has been very educational for me! I have done many searches via the net and have not come up with much!

For comparison:
Here's an untouched SD or SiPo overcoat which my brother's father-in-law liberated from an SD / Gestapo headquarters building in 1945.
I vote giftgrün (Toxic Green)!

Very nice jacket! Thanks for sharing!
