Luftwaffe Luftwaffe Shoulder Boards

[Paul R]

Hi,

I am being sent these boards with a lot of other items. I am most excited about the medical Academy boards as I have never seen a cypher set up like this....

I have been working to get the Medical boards for a few months. I posted them on the WAF and the response was that they were real yet the cyphers have never been seen before.. in reference or in person.

Also, the person I am getting them from does not collect or deal in militaria.

On the Flak Board, what does the "F 32" represent?

Paul,

The "F 32" stands for Fortress Regt 32. Generally you will only see the "F" with the Flack Artillery color red. Garth

Thank you Garth! I will see what I can find on Fortress Flak troops.

Paul!

here is a close up of the cyphers. I have yet to see another cypher with the A and caduesa as one piece.

Here is the reverse.

The interesting thing about these boards is that they were removed from a tunic... I bet these boards on a tunic WOULD HAVE been a great find!

It seems as if the same maker made both of the above boards.
