VonBierStein Posted October 24, 2007 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted October 24, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 WOW!! Panzerpioneer in an M44 strap! that is the first for me! That is a VERY special strap.
