Anyone know where you can get Luftwaffe FG Shoulderboards with the orange waffenfarbe? I have checked the Morigi site, SOF, and RAU. Can't seem to find any.

Any suggestions?

I have contacted ATF and they don't do them. Awaiting replies from RAU, SOF, Militaria-net.

Any former Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie re-enactors got any suggestions as to where to look for these?

I did manage to track down some Luftwaffe Feldgendarmarie shoulderboards. Now I need some Lufwaffe Feldgendarmarie ones for an Unteroffizer. Any ideas? Once again I can't find them. These seem to be more difficult to get hold off than enlisted mens ones.

You have to get the braid and sew it on to the ordinary ones.

I dont really do sewing Paul. Not fairly intricate stuff like this anyway. I have now tracked some down at Trident Military in the US. Anybody used this trader before? Noily, I will have a look at what she does. Thanks for the link.

Have used them in the past a little bit of pot luck with some items but generally overall very good.
