Bavaria, Kingdom. A Rare Set of Generalmajor Shoulder Boards

(Schulterklappen für einen Generalmajor). A rare and matching set of Bavarian Generalmajor shoulder boards, each constructed of a red wool base with a card stock core and magnetic metal wire reinforcement, topped by a single length of interwoven silver aluminum wire piping interspersed with blue threaded chevrons, in turn flanked on each side by twisted and rolled gold bullion wire piping, and bearing dark blue wool reverse straps, with the latter each completing with a buttonhole meeting an analogous opening on the outer edge of the piping for secure uniform attachment, each unmarked and measuring 62 mm (w) x 155 mm (l) (inclusive of piping), both demonstrating minor material issues which includes some wear to the piping of one board, some fatigue of the reverse wool and possible mothing to one of the straps, a rare and matching pre-1915 set in overall near extremely fine condition.
