I always wondered if they where good or bad. If there not pioneer what are they, and what's wrong with them buckram, black and silver piping or everything. I'm here to learn just like everyone else. I bought them around 20 years ago for less than $20.00 I believe it was before Wehrmacht awards and ss forum had just started so it's been a while. Thanks for taking your time and lending a hand.

What's Wrong With Them?

(1) The buckram is consistent with fakes of the last four decades.
(2) The reverse construction is sloppy.
(3) If these were real, they would be for the staff personnel of a general SS (Standarte) unit or for the SD.
