Hi, any ideas on this? i've scoured the net and can't find a match. sorry if i've posted in the wrong place, i've posted in non combat because the nearest i could find was Polizei....

these are forestry, Gunny. i think.

they may be army warrant officer. someone else hopefully can clear it up for both of us!

[Gunny Hartmann]

Nice one, ta very much!...

sorry to back track on you, Gunny!

No problem, i can't pin this one down. there's some NVA stuff that looks similar too!...

i'd just had one sip of coffee and just gotten up and i saw green and shouted, "FORESTRY". but honestly the braid count... the way this one looks... i'm wrong.

[Gunny Hartmann]

Anybody else got any ideas?....

Morning Gunny I have done a little bit of research on this shoulder board and it would appear that it is postwar Shutzpolizei .
There are some variations in the green that was used in the cording this shoulder board example is as close as I could come to a match on yours much the same shoulder board in a slightly different variation of green.
They do look to be polizei, Rheinland-Pfalz, (middle to dark green underlay)
or Schleswig-Holstein (light to middle green underlay) .

the cord count in the weave is strange to me. i'm used to seeing 4 interwoven strands on war time pieces. so i was also thinking post war but did not want to go that far in saying it without really knowing.

i am hoping someone can come along and comment on this further.
