WWII German Wehrmacht Feldgendarmerie Shoulder Boards - Original

Beskrivelse

This lot features a pair of authentic WWII German Wehrmacht shoulder boards, specifically designated for the Feldgendarmerie (Military Police) or recruitment services, as indicated by the distinctive orange wool piping (Waffenfarbe). Constructed from standard field-grey wool, these enlisted man (EM) rank insignia exhibit the classic pointed-end design with reinforced buttonholes. The construction is typical of mid-to-late war production, utilizing a coarse wool blend suitable for combat uniforms. These pieces are essential for collectors of Third Reich militaria, offering a tangible link to the specialized units of the German army. The orange piping remains vibrant, and the wool shows minimal wear, consistent with age and field use. There are no apparent signs of significant moth damage or structural failure, and the stitching remains tight. This pair represents a well-preserved example of military uniform accoutrements from the period. Ideal for display or completing a period-correct uniform restoration.
