They are customs shoulderboards. The "RFV" cypher stands for Reichsfinanzverwaltung [National Fiscal Administration]. Rank is Hilfszollbetriebsassistent.

I cannot make a truly qualifed comment on their financial value myself.

Had a look at a few dealers' websites, though: The Collector's Guild currently has two pairs of customs shoulder boards (for different, but also relatively low ranks) on offer for, respectively, $ 68 and $ 89.

RD Militaria and Grenadier Military both have a pair of shoulder boards for this particular rank priced at, respectively, $ 50 and $ 100...
