Sorry for the delay.
Vvadim and others gents, why these shouldeboards don't have any insignia (the shield for justice, star for administrative or caduceus)?
maybe I'm discovering tiedous water, but I noticed some details with theses s/boards.
They're not of the M69 reform because the angle of the inclined superior edge is inferior.
But I noticed the difference in lenght and in embrodery.
here's the details:
on the lower board, the gold colour is more pronounced, the gold is deeper and more patinated; it could indicate a more ancient fabric.
I noticed the gold thread is larger. The patterns are different: big squares on the central rank of the ancient one, more "ovoîd" on the recent (and identical to a 1969 s/board). On the borders, the "rope" is squared on the old one, more "roundish" on the recent.
My guess: the ancient boards come from a 1955 uniform, the others are designed for a M58 jacket.
I believe there have been a huge modification in the industrial process of badges and embrodery... the deep gold-plating diseapared, they certainly created the first anodization processes.... we can see this evolution in the M1955 cap badges, and certainly here in the s/boards.
