SS shoulder board good ?

[Anghar]

Hi!
Could you help me with id of this item ?
If I am not mistaken it is artillery Standartenfuhrer shoulder board ?

But more importantly is it a genuine piece ?

Regards,

Very hard to tell. Has it been dug up?

Hi

I'm not an expert on ranks but artillery is Red piping; this looks more like Pink (for Panzer) but it could be the wear & age that made the red fade.

To me it is original because the quality & attention to detail is there despite all the wear.

But I'm not sure if it SS, it could be Heer..

Well, if original it appears to have had a secondary backing, now gone, which would have made it SS Panzer.

Thanks for your answers guys ! I dont know if it was a ground dug relic but it has certainly seen better days
Yeah it is pink so panzer not artillery sorry for my mistake.

And since no one questioned its authenticity I will assume it is a genuine piece just in poor condition.
