    SS Gebirgsjager Shoulder Board - Real or Fake?

    I picked this board up at an antique store the other day. It looks like it might be good, but I would like to get some expert opinions.

    Thanks,
    Ted

        The colour is more 'Toxic Green' for SD to my eye.

          Here is a picture of it in better light. The indentation on the button hole is a tell tale sign that it has been on a uniform.

            The thread has some age to it.

                  I think this board is actually a fake. Some of the thread glows under a black light.

                    Does the glowing thread raise any concerns?

                    Thanks,

                      I would pass on this one, the piping is trying to mimic rayon, but looks like the cotton shoelace type usually seen on fakes..

                      I could be wrong as i am looking at the pictures at my phone..
