shoulder straps help please

[Johannes Schoen]

Hello,

I collect Heer-stuff and know almost nothing about ss-collectibles. I bought these straps from ebay because I thought they were dark-green Heer. But now they are black . Is there any chance that these might be the real thing?

Thank You in advance

Johannes

The first picture is a bit bright, the white piping goes of course all the way round. The black fabric is coarse, but finer than the fieldgrey backing.

Well.....

Im just giving my honest opinion here.. and I belive the shoulder straps to be repros. I would not have bought these. It does have a modern kind of look all over it despite the quite well done "key hole" button holes. Also its kind of strange that the backing material is from scrap material and have the seem at the exact same place.

Just my opinion.

Im sorry,

Felix

They would look convincing if they would pretend to be Heer-straps. But with the black colour it is probably beeter to be cautious.

Wow Felix, that is fast. I haven't even finished yet

OK, I had not much hope when I saw they were black and not dark-green. I have one more picture, so here we go.

Thank You Felix for the moment.

Well......

I hate to be as fast as lucky Luke, but this is only how I feel.. Im sorry
Im pretty sure I spotted these on german ebay too and said "" "" to myself........ For sure there are some lovely shoulder boards also from time to time....

I bought a matching set of SS panzer shoulder straps that looks quite nice but Im almost sure they are repros. I have to pay the member fee to post...

Then I will show the little collection I have....... because it is little, but what I can afford.....

Keep up the good work gentlemen!!

Let the hunt for original SS militaria continue.....!
