    SS-Totenkopfverbande shoulder boards Need Help

    I am offered a mint pair of black early ss shoulder boards with pointed ends, silver-coloured 'standard' NCO-braid attached and a with stitched numeral "3" on them. And since I do not collect shoulder boards I was wondering if someone here can help me find a link on this forum or elsewhere where I can find these.

    Forgive my ignorance but are they SS-VT or SS-Totenkopfverbande?

    I did find a link to a set that almost looks the same:

    http://www.hannahsreich.co.uk/viewph...h=3012&phqu=10

    And another link with a numeral "1" here:

    http://www.2kompanie.org/totenkopf-insignia.html

    Does the number 3 stand for Thuringen?
    Are they rare?

    I did take some pictures and will try to upload them this weekend.

    Thanks in advance,

    Emiel

    TV boards

    Emiel,
    It is good if the boards in question are of similar style and construction as the links you have referenced. The numeral should be of machine woven chain stitch style and yes, 3 is for Thüringen. I have only seen one period photo of a '3' pointed end board, each end of the numeral should sort of curl into a little ball. Hope you can get some pics of these for other opinioins as well.

                          These are all the pictures I have for now and ofcourse the last picture contains not only ss, but it is the only picture I have to show the boards together with other boards etc. just for size.

                          Thanks for helping,

                          Emiel

                          P.S. I will pay for my membership again and repost them as I do not like to see these images gone after 30 days

                              Hello Emiel,
                              With these pics I hope others will provide their experience.

                              While the number is chain stitched , it does not match the style/font of the reference photo I have from the period. Also, the reverse of all the Totenkopfverbande boards that I believe to be original are made with black material only.
