Germany, Imperial. A Set of Army Hauptmann Shoulder Boards
(Heer Schulterklappen für Hauptmann der Infanterie). A matching set of Imperial Army Hauptmann shoulder boards, each constructed of white wool with card stock cores, topped by four bands of silver aluminum wire piping interspersed with black and white chevrons, and pinned with two gilded zink rank pips and numerals “55”, both unmarked and measuring 41 mm (w) x 110 mm (l), demonstrating material fatigue consistent with age and field use, in uniform-removed and very fine condition.
