trenchbuff Posted August 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2020 Can I get member's opinions on this set of shoulder boards which came with a number of other German war souvenirs at an estate sale. I believe they may be for an SS Obersturmfuhrer engineer officer. The backing is black. I appreciate any input. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted August 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2020 Interesting Lt. Col. shoulder boards. These boards look to me to be WH Engineer boards rather than W-SS. Waffen-SS boards should have the Waffenfarbe as a secondary color to the black backing. So, two colors should be seen in W-SS boards even though both would be black. I do not see a secondary Nebenfarbe color on these boards so the likelihood is they are Army (Heer) IMHO. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysoldier80 Posted August 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2020 It is difficult to answer. They look good, however, one has to remember that sometimes the WSS used Heer Boards; especially the less common colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
