My son Douglas just got this Police Adminstrative shoulder boards and collar tabs set .

The shoulder boards .

..and their backsides.

...and a close-up .

..and an other one .

Here now the 2 collar tabs .

.. And their backsides .

..and a close-up again .

..and the same of their backsides.

..and even closer !

Now a Administrative EM board that I have ,--but this one is SD ,since it has black center cords and black underlayment atop the white-gray.

..and it's backside .

..and a close-up again to see the different layers of underlayment .

..and a last close-up. Hope you enjoyed these items , since they are kind of hard to find anywhere !

Bernd, now all you need is an other ranks tunic for Admin...I'd still like to see one of those!

In reference to the comment about the last rank board, are you implying that it’s SD administrative related, was there such a thing? Peculiar strap to? I'm not familiar with SD ranks outside of the usual black cords on green backing.

Dave,

I think the last board that Bernd shows is Railway Police. This one is a lower rank one but with the grey backing and blue nebenfarbe as on his. It also has the same ribbed strap.

Hello,

I really admire those Admin EM tabs. I have NEVER been able to find a set of those. We discussed at some length the fact that EM ranks were only retained while "probationary", ie; while in training, so any admin enlisted insignia is really rare.

Thanks for posting. Another "impossible" item to add to the list.

Here are my "meister" boards:

Between you and your son you seem to be
amassing a VERY respectable collection.

Regards,
Bill Unland

Thanks ORPO, that makes sense, I just didn't put that together as it had me wondering!

Bill,

I've only added one from over the years...so I'm half way to having a set! Think it came from Patrick back in the day when he decided to exit.

Guess I also have a couple of rank straps too...
