    SS Shoulder Boards

    I purchased these from the e-stand a while back and want to have them discussed since I am considering moving them along.

    Any and all comments appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

        Hello Bob, Litzen is post war, pattern of the yellow piping also strange for me.

          Thanks. I have seen this type of green before attributed to GJ.
          The construction of the boards is reasonable, but I too wonder about the litzen.

          Other opinions appreciated.

            Is the piping the normal classical Fertigpaspel or a piece of silk folded and sewn around a piece of string ?
            Tresse is DDR post war i agree .

              Nick,
              It looks like typical type.

              I'll try to get better photos in daylight.

              Thanks
              Bob

                      As I wrote earlier, they're fake boards to me.

                          I'm having a little trouble distinguishing war time and post war DDR tresse. From the photos above, they look the same to me as war-time SS. Is the only difference the length of the diamonds? That seems a rather subjective difference and opinions would seem to vary depending on who one asks.

                            I was the one that sold crusader the boards. I had bought three pair in original unissued condition on the E stand with only one pair having tresse. I cannot remember who I bought them from and am investigating. I also remember they were vetted here as original late war Dachau . I will attempt to locate a thread.

                            I was also under the impression that this style elongated diamond was wartime .
