    some insignia

    Hi guys
    Not real versed on embroidered rune tabs, and the rank tab looks odd, the Zimmerman eagle looks like it might be good to my novice eyes, not feeling good about the boards
    Any help with these would be appreciated

    thanks in advance
    Mike

            As much as I like the boards, it is unusual that they should have
            the cypher '5' on them.
            The '5' is applied to the Wiking divisional units/regiments
            outside of Infantry/ Panzer Grenadier regiments Germania, Westland
            and earlier on Nordland - before its removal to develop the same said division.
            So it would be more normal to see the cyphers 'G', 'W' or even 'N'
            on the Infantry boards designated to the Wiking division.

              Great boards! The cyper ‘5’ are different. Dont mean anything about originality. Regards T.

                SS tabs I believe are fake. Look it up.
                Go to the search button - please.

                  They're not fake imo.
                  They also are not 'textbook' which means nothing.
                  Fieldmade is a better term imo.

                        Is there any provenance with the boards?
                        Research you discovered about them?
                        They look like Wiking Division shoulder boards with mismatched numbers
                        I have a single from an 8th army estate ,
                        this photo shows the different types of numbers used by this soldier ,

                        Kind regards Chay

                            Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in getting these. I really don't know much about shoulder boards. I was told that they were panzergrenadier 5th SS tk boards. The Rune tab I felt comfortable with but was really unsure about the rank tab.
                            The lot also came with a fake EM SS buckle and a officer SS buckle that might of been ok. The only thing I felt sure about with my limited knowledge was the visor eagle
                            It all sold for $1400 euro.
                            Thanks for the comments gentlemen
                            Mike

                              Oh well you might find something else,
                              The photo is just showing shoulder board types and I don’t own those items,
                              I used the photo to id an estate I found , two shoulder board singles from an 8th army estate ,

                              Kind regards Chay
