these are forestry, Gunny. i think.
they may be army warrant officer. someone else hopefully can clear it up for both of us!
Nice one, ta very much!...
sorry to back track on you, Gunny!
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.
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.
