Soviet Some Insignia and other items

[Avitas]

Hello all,

I would like to post a couple items (and more as they come) for discussion on this thread. First up I have a pair of loaded shoulder boards (one paratrooper, one tank) and was wondering if they "add up" or if the extra insiginas were just added afterwards to make it look more impressive. If this is an authentic combination of items, what are the little insignias? I think these are Polish, not quite sure, but definitely Eastern Bloc.

Thanks,

Pat

This is not an authentic combination of insignia. These are East German boards for Field Artillery (Red) and Engineer (Black) Privates with Soviet insignia applied. Kevin

That's what I figured, any ID on the various insignia?
