SS Shoulder Boards Opinions

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!

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.

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.
