Third Reich Era Shoulder Boards (5)

Updated August 7, 2026

This group consists of five single uniform shoulder boards spanning various military and administrative branches during the Third Reich era. The collection includes an Army administrative officer board with silver-grey braid and brown cords on a red wool backing; an Army Oberst (Colonel) board with braided silver cord, two brass pips, and a pink wool backing for Panzer troops; and a high-ranking Customs or Forestry official board featuring silver cords over double-layered dark green and red wool underlays with a gilt pip. It also features an administrative official board with a gold cellon braided cord over a white fabric backing, alongside a Police officer board with a green and silver braided design on a light green wool backing. The reverse sides show a mixture of slip-on tongues, sew-in foundations, and exposed stabilization layers. The pieces exhibit age wear, including metallic oxidation, minor fraying, and backing material loss. The boards measure l. 4.5" x w. 1.5 except for the gold one (4th as pictured above) measures l. 4" x w. 1.5". SW
