Shoulderboards original?

[M3A1Mats]

Fellow collectors,

I just got these two boards offerd. Since I mainly collect awards I have no knowledge about insignia whatsoever. Could you guys help me out?

I posted them in the Heeres section and was told I might get more opinions here. Could it be SS since the backing is black? Would the green mean it's polizei or panzergrenadier?

Are the even original? If original the are captain boards right?

Much appreciated,

Best regards,

Mats

A captain of the SS mountain troops. Look good. On the other hand, not very difficult to fake...

Thank you Ludwig! Would you make the gamble if it were cheap?

Any other opinions?

Much appreciated!

[Ludwig]

How much is cheap?

[M3A1Mats]

Relatively cheap. 70 euro's

[Ludwig]

That is worth taking a risk! IMO.

[M3A1Mats]

Thanks Ludwig I think I will!

Hi guys!!

Just came back from the seller. Someone else was also interested so I had to buy them before getting pictures form the side.

I have a very good feeling about them though!

I went to meet the seller at a restaurant. He was an elderly men, 70-80, and told me he got them from a gentlemen, from Den Haag, who passed away last december. He pulled out a paperbag with some more SS insignia.

SS ain't my cup of tea but I trusted this gentlemen + the were very cheap so I bought two extra pieces since they looked good to me.

I was allowed to take pictures so here the are---

These are the pieces I bought --photo's I took at home
