    Here is a special shoulder board. It's not german but dutch. This was worn by NCO of the WA, some sort of SA. I thought this is a unknown piece for most of you and hope you like it.

    That's cool Volkbert. I assume this is of NCO rank?

    NCO indeed Carl. The have a similar look like SA shoulder boards from which I aquired two lately. These are also very nice items.

    You have the start to a nice collection--keep buying them. The last set of shoulderboards I got was a set of Luftwaffe Enlistedman's tropical boards--for the shirt--not tunic. These are VERY rare. I got them for a great price. Go to Collectors Guild and they have one single--like mine--for almost twice the price I paid for a set.

    Ah Collector's guild. This dealer has good stuff but his prices are so high!!! :eek:

    He has some dutch Jeugdstorm items. These items are way overpriced. A belt buckle for 1300 dollar. I think I can buy it in Holland for 150 euro or so.

    You are totally correct, the CG has almost nothing priced at a fair price. Oh well, those who buy from them are fools who will part with their money.
