Anything written on the back?Check out this link!http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17190PaulYeah, they almost look like LSW boards but the colors are skewed dark/light/dark, and the slides don't make sense! Interesting photo :cheers: Edited October 13, 2008 by Laurence Strong

christerd Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Paul and Laurence, Thanks for the link to the other thread it was very interesting and I see now that the shoulder boards looks strange. The pic has something written on the back, I don?t have it with me now but I will look when I get home again. I think it was a date and probably name on the man. Regards Christer
