Hello mates! I bought this pair of shoulderboards today... What do you think are they real or repro?
What rank is it? Are they common?

Anton,

I think that these are more likely to be rural police than Feldgendarmerie because of the bright finish on the strap.
They are oberleutenant straps and could also be Heer recruitment but they lack Wehrkreis number and as they do not have the attached tunic, I guess that we will ever know.
These are usually sold as Feldgendarmerie as it makes them more exotic, but, no matter, they are still nice epaulettes.

Thank you Bockmann! hmm, intersting info! So most likely Rual then? Could it be Signals? Didn't they use orange too?

Ps, check ur pm-box...

Anton,

No, nachrichten for Heer was light yellow.I could not remember the colour for Luftwaffe, so I looked it up and it was light brown, so I am sticking with rural police.
