VonBierStein Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I came across a pair of mint shoulder boards. I posted pics on another website and the reply was varied. I did find out for sure that they are panzer pionier shoulder boards. However I couldn't recieve an honest answer to their value. Some said they are not rare and offered very little for them. Others said I would be crazy to get rid of these. They are mint and are beautiful pieces. They look great with my other boards. Any more information would be great.
Paul R Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I would love to see some photos. Pictures go a long way in discussing authenticy and value.If original, these boards are very very rare.Welcome to the forum.RegardsPaul
Gordon Williamson Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 What is the piping like ? If it is the woven style piping ( as opposed to twisted cord )in black with a white fleck like this, then very rare indeed and those who said you'd be crazy to get rid of them are absolutely correct. Any Panzer Pionier straps are very scarce though.
panzerpioniere Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I am very interesting in seeing these boards. I specialize in Panzerpioniere and am also writing a book on the subject. I have a very extensive collection on the subject. please e-mail me diresct at steve.androsko@paccar.com and we can discuss panzerpioniere.Thank you very much.Steve Androskosteve.androsko@paccar.com

Paul R Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 WOW!! Panzerpioneer in an M44 strap! that is the first for me! That is a VERY special strap. I would not know what the going price for one of these would be, as I have never seen one openly sold. I too am curious to see what this piece would fetch!paul

Paul R Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Can you reduce the size of your scan to 60kb? When you reach 50 posts, your allowable photo size will automatically go up to 110Kb.
