    I have had these for several years and think they may be repos. Anyone have any ideas on these? The back of the shoulder board feels like a felt material. East German maybe??

    what you have there is a ReichsArbeitsDient cap emblem, some Tresse and a wartime private forestry service "Oberforstmeister" shoulderboard.

    The RAD logo is upside down in the frame by the way.

    Also I will look deeper into this logo as the silver brightness of it throws me off.
    Officers ?
    Do not know for sure.

    Cheers
