Is this an SS infantry board?

[ive]

Hi,

I would appreciate comments on this board please.

I still don't know how to distinguish regular army boards from SS, let alone knowing if this is SS

Something looks missing on the back, as sew in boards are usually 'frayed' not folded over?





Is there a guide/thread as to the differences between Heer and SS boards. I have some books but still unsure.

Many thanks.

Yes, this is a SS board
Determined by the black underlay
The "bit" missing on the back is referred
to as the tongue which would slip under a
tab to be secured by the button. This board
is therefore referred to as a "Slip on" as opposed
to the "Sew in" which you seem to be more
familiar with.

Hi,

That's great, thanks.

So ALL SS boards, whether slip-on or sew-in will have a black underlay?

This might be a nice first board to add to my little SS collection

I like it !

Black underlay is only apparent from the rank
of Untersturmfuhrer to Oberfuhrer.
Either side of these ranks construction methods
change again.
