SS Shoulder Boards

[Crusader17]

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.

Best, JLS

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

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

I have to agree, I would not want these in my collection...

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 .

Repro for sure , with non regulation piping,folded silk around a string .
Construction made like wool piping ...
