Germany, Luftwaffe. A Pair of Leutnant Paratroop/Flying Unit Shoulder Boards

(Schulterklappen). A fine quality set of Leutnant (Lieutenant) shoulder boards constructed of four rows of silver twisted wire in a U-shaped pattern, on a golden-yellow wool base, each measuring 35 mm (w) x 103 mm (h), showing mild soiling, and in very fine condition.

Footnote: Previously removed from a Third Reich political party podium flag. An Allied Soldier picked up this flag and added on German insignia, eventually sewing and attaching eighty-seven German Second War period embroidered and printed insignia, including twenty-five various shoulder boards, rank insignia, collar patches, breast eagles, medal ribbons, Naval trade badges, and cap insignia, all of which have now been removed.
