Question on shoulder boards’ Waffenfarbe

Hello everybody,

Again a question regarding the Waffenfarbe of shoulder boards for my dear fellow forum members. I see copperbrown on these ones (see pictures). It seems to have definitely some reddish tone in the overall brown colour and I would not say that it is KZ Waffenfarbe as it is in my view a bit to dark-ish/reddish. I also would deem the Waffenfarbe to be too dark for Feldgendarmerie. Any views/ideas/comments welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Look like recon on my screen. KZ are usually a lighter brown

Thanks a lot. For me it definitely looks copper brown and not orange so I would go with recon.
I put a couple of pics comparing the waffenfarbe with the one from KZ shoulder boards.
