Medical Shoulder boards?

Just got these Shoulder boards that appear to be for a Medical Officer, but I am not sure of that.
What kind of Shoulder boards are these? Medical? What rank? What branch? Is it Luftwaffe? Thank you for your input. JME

Looks as though they are Luftwaffe Medical for the rank of Major.

Not Medical but Administrative (Medical id a stafe with single snake sim to Veterinary snake)

Thanks for correcting Macki as I was just about to change it.

Those are for a major in the TSD (Truppensonderdienst}
Until 1944, Officials were not classified as soldiers. But after that time certain groups were converted into officers in the Special Troop Service (Truppensonderdienst�TDS). These are the higher administrative officers (Intendanten) in ranks from Captain to Lieutenant General; the lower administrative officers (Zahlmeister) in the ranks of first and second Lieutenant, and the judge advocates (Richter) in ranks from Captain to Lieutenant General. It was also made possible for reserve technical service officials to become reserve officers of the motor maintenance troops if qualified.

Thank you all for your feedback! Again I learned something and like with Laurence�s feedback I am surprised how you know all that! It is amazing to me how much some of you guys know and how great it is that other collectors can count on your help! Very much appreciated! Thank you. JME

I would agree with laurence, the shade of blue that is more to the teal side is the key...
