Opinions sought on shoulder boards

**mjw** · 05-16-2013, 08:09 PM

These shoulder boards were obtained with several other items of insignia that appear to be original. I would like to ask Forum members for their opinions on the possible originality of the enclosed.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hello,

I believe these to be current reproductions. The construction and materials are not consistant with TR period.

Sorry to say, but I think reproductions, the stitching looks a little off and not "German" But the lettering really throws it off..

Not good, looks like the ones I've seen made for reenactment. Wool is wrong.

Feuerbach,

Thank you for the attribution. The good items in the lot have outweighed the bad so I must not be too greedy – although it would have been nice had they also been original!

Kind regards, Malcolm.
