Wtk : SS / SD shoulder boards ????

[blackheart0866]

Ok, I'm looking at these right now, and needing to know if these are Waffen-SS / SD shouler baords, or regular WW2 German police shoulder boards.

They seem like the ones i have looked at in the past on , and seem correct, but I'm no expert when it come to SS / SD items.

They seem like SS / SD 1942 police style boards, but they dont seem to be a matched set as the backing seems different on each board.

Thanks

Is this from the same guy Brain?

[blackheart0866]

These are from someone else, not the guy that has the SS Brownshirt.

Completely different person, these seem right, and TR period, but the backing seems different on each one.

i believe that these are regular police boards,,,SS-SD is toxic green backing,,,

I have seen some SS-SD tunics with the same exact color of backing, i could post pics , but those pics are on other well known web sites, and i will not post pics that dont belong to me.


You can these tunics on Oakleaf militaria, as they have some very beautiful SS tunics for sale.

here is their link on the tunics, with these very similar shoulder boards;

These are good original Police issue: however the SD versions are black, not brown.

Cheers, Ade.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking, but he said the black has faded severely.


You can see the braid is black in color.

Hi Brian, no these look brown to me. Look at the button hole on the underside, it looks the same colour as the top side.

Cheers, Ade.
