Great Britain. A Pair of Shoulder Epaulettes

Great Britain; Shoulder board incorporates three long rows of interlinked brass rings, the rows narrow at the shoulder end and gradually expanding in size when they finish at the shoulder end, the centre row slightly shorter in length in order to accommodate the reinforced button hole, the upper and underside of the strap in black wool, with two holes discreetly placed through the wool base horizontally at the shoulder end to secure the straps to a uniform, both straps with an olive green cotton shoe lace sewn in place on the underside, the shoe lace on the shorter of the two straps severed at one end, the straps measuring 56 mm (w) x 174 mm (h) and 58 mm (w) x 185 mm (h), each of the straps exhibiting threading loss on the sides, forcing separation of the black wool upper from the black wool underside and exposing the beige burlap support inside, as worn.
