I have, among other things, these 3 shoulder straps in my collection that I would like to share with you:

1. Verwaltungs-Gefolgschaftsführer (administration) in Bann 125
2. Musician in Bann 596
3. Oberbann 3 - Bann 189 - Unterbann 2

Bann 134 ( Plauen/Vogtland ) Oberbann 4 and Unterbann 5 1933 - 1936
With this motif you can see how the Roman 5 was removed and continued to be used as an HJ board for the Flieger-HJ 1936 - 1938

This motif also shows an atypical shoulder board made of felt fabric. I don't know when or how it was created. I could imagine that it was manufactured by the Luftwaffe in a similar way to the HJ Flakhelfer boards.

Impressive and helpful thread for the collectors. Thank you both for this, Steve and Michael.

I'll add another pair here that lacks any motif. Most likely a tailor shop would have had to add the number, but this is how a certain Flieger-Rottenführer wore them. I've seen them like this on the post-38s, but not on the brown version.

Interesting pair of boards these I have just got. After some research I think I have them figured out. They are a pair of scharfuhrer boards dating from 1st August 1933 to 30th September 1938 when the black boards came into effect. The piping on the chain stitching (82) on the boards is yellow which would be correct for oberbann 2 Göttingen, Nord Neidersaschen. These boards have black piping round the edges which Indicates oberbann 5 which was only used in 5 districts. I have looked at all the oberbann 5 locations and none of them are close Göttingen so im sure this piping has no bann designation meaning. In 1934 it was announced that special units for the blind were to be created and they used black piping. Later on kids who were partially sighted were allowed to join. So with all that in mind, I believe these might be a pair of boards for a member from bann 82 who may of joined the blind bann. The bann 'blinde' later upgraded to a 'B' abbrevation (in a gothic lettering form) on the 31st may 1935. Bann 82 in yellow was first introduced on 1st August 1933 and the 'blinde' bann was first introduced in 1934, so from 1934 til 31st may 1935 this could of been a serious possibily of its unusual mix.

If im wrong please tell me
