    Waffen ss mountain troops shoulderboards?

    I need an opinion on these, they want 300.00 for these. I want to make sure they are original and if these are ss.

    Based on these photos and my monitor, looks like Heer, not WSS.
    Top should be black, not green.

            I associate that shade of waffenfarbe with Heer Administration ... GJ is 'Grass Green' a much lighter shade. Only my opinion obviously.

              it's GJ ...never heard of Heer Verwaltungs enlisted shoulderstraps....and officer candidate status with double tresse is also not a "HV" thing....
              Heeres Verwaltung (Admin) "einfacher dienst" (lowest ranks) had more elaborate Shoulderboards...
              See here:
              http://moebius.freehostia.com/beamten1.htm

              Army administrative soldiers were considered administrative "officials" (in German "Beamten")
              and therefor did not wear standard armed forces insignia.
              All their collar and shoulder insignia were distinctly different in comparison with regular Heer troops.

                  They are pre to early war WH dark bottle green topside, Jager/ Specialist piping. However, they are not SS black topside.

                  Value at a guess for such WH boards Euro 50 to Euro 100 depending on who wants or needs them,

                      EM-boards under 100 Euro are not usual. Especially GebJg not.
                      IMO these boards are up to 200 Euro.

                        OK understood Ian. That means you have doubts about its originality all together,
                        as such an admin farbe strap did not exist for HV service.....it's GJ or J,
                        with a color not totally text book which happened. To me it's still light enough to be
                        acceptable for those branches. Maybe Johnny will chime in? I like the set.

                          I just emailed the seller to see if he would reconsider a more reasonable price for these for 300.00 to more in the 200.00 dollar range. It's worth a shot. I explained that the verdict is that these are not SS.
