Ok, all good?

[D Funk]

I would say OK on the skull. Not sure about he rest

[NickG]

The major's board is Heer pioneers/engineers...and the shoulderstrap has LW tresse and lacks waffen farbe piping and back side is not field gray...
The chevrons are probably OK, the tabs and bullion eagle are odd, SD raute really odd...! but still all appealing to me...
I will let the real experts chime in! (no comment on the SS pin though)

I like the top sleeve eagle .....
But agreed its all a bit odd

I think Skull is a good one and has aged nicely. Deschler made many different skull dies, this one does not exactly match a known original I own but it does have some traits that look correct.

Most probably embroidered items are postwar souvenirs for GI's, which is made by correct hand and correct material used, but improper shape and type

Skilled work with original thread and unterlagen, SD diamond used original shoulderboards ziphern unterlagen. I think circa 50-60's work by the embroderer who got scills during a war time

[NickG]

It's really nice material, (quality and material wise, unterlagen etc...) even though outside of the norm pattern wise...(eagle, SD raute)
So who knows when these were made...?
Sophisticated (modern) fakers tend to fabricate their wares as close as possible to mimic text book originals...in an effort to confuse collectors...
These are so off the mark (gothic SD?) so very old remakes or odd ball originals!
I would take a chance on it ! to include the anorexic bullion sleeve eagle!
