The newest addition to my collection . A pair of Bann "J" Nurnberg post 38 straps with the addition of hand embroidered crossed flags for either Bann standard bearer or possibly rider HJ within Bann Nurnberg .
The crossed banners are handsewn in silver thread and are really professionaly done .
I checked the embroidery with a black light and it does not glow even at the worn points . I am convinced that this was period sewn .
I have seen 1 other pair of shoulderstraps with hand embroidered crossed flags (I believe a member on this forum has them) but those I think are sewn with white thread not silver.
There are also a few pair out there with the SA Reiter crossed lances and flags tin insignia affixed to the straps . Those I tend to stay away from because the SA Reiter insignia is still around in unissued condition , you can find them on most of the big dealers sites .
