Fire Police Meister shoulder boards and LW eagle

[ObKrieger]

Hello gentlemen, can I get your opinions on these items please?

Best regards,
Mo

Hi Mo, both look original to me.

Pity about the moth damage to the shoulder straps. Looks like these were never worn. Looks like they have also fed on the wool backing to the eagle too.

Cheers, Ade.

Yea, those were my thoughts as well. It's a shame so many items have been picked at by moths.

I can get these super cheap so I think I'll get them and then sell them on here for a forum donation. Thanks for your help, Ade.

With the fire police boards, besides a black light the first and foremost giveaway is the thickness of the "V"s on the outer edging. See how these are very thin? Post war boards (both east and west German) are a much thicker black line. Meister of Fire Police boards are not as rare as others and you can still find them moth free for a good price.
