Shoulder Straps,

Hello Eric,

There are many items here-so I will contribute my opinio on the items in a line by line response.

Photo1-Questionable pair of Heer Infantry EM M36 straps.

Photo2-Bundeswehr (West German) NCO straps

Photo3-Apparent Reproduction Heer M36 Infantry EM straps.

Photo4/5-Strange Infantry Hauptmann boards-unusual SS Camo backing. ???

Photo7-Reproduction Heer Infantry EM Tropical straps.

Photo8-East German (Police) as already ID'd by Paul.

Photo9/10-Water Police style Litzen on incorrect dark green wool backings..

For the price you paid, you didn't get harmed too much.At the least you may have some original parts.

Thanks John,I think I will keep the first pair and the cammo backing pair,they look and smell old.You seem to know this stuff, here are some more I just bought,all were together on a string and I was told were brought back by vet from ww2 germany.Guy just grabbed one of each as an example I guess,too bad no pairs.Paid 15.00 for all and some are in nice shape others have moth damage,they all smell and look old.Any idea what these are?

Your shoulderboards from the second fotos, all seems to be original.
Here is a german site about the rank of the shoulderborads:
