First of all, this really great thread!!!
dblmed,
are you sure the shoulderboards are WW2 TeNo? Or do you believe it?
I have exactly the same ones (new) from german eBay - afterwar era (from Ellingen, Bayern, Mittelfranken). Seller didn'nt know what it is. I suppose the my ones are for Polizei Niedersachsen from 70-ties.
To be true, I never saw TeNo police-like shoulderboards in reality, but there are 3 reasons for my 'feeling':
1) German police shoulderboards' underlay were made from rayon in war for men & NCOS.
2) Inverted V were ordered to be of 2mm thickness (after RErl from 2.10.1942 & from 19.5.1943).
3)I do not believe Germans used this high-quality wool for men's & NCO's shoulderboard underlay in (and after) 1943...
