Original matched pair of WWII German Oberforstmeister shoulder boards from the German Forestry Administration (Forstverwaltung). Constructed in dark green intertwined cord over deep forest green velvet backing with silver secondary piping and dual metal acorn devices to each board, denoting senior forestry official rank.
The design closely matches known wartime reference examples for the Oberforstmeister rank and displays the elegant high-grade construction associated with upper-level forestry and hunting administration officials during the Third Reich era.
Both shoulder boards remain in attractive untouched condition with natural age wear, excellent detail to the woven cord construction, and pleasing patina to the acorn devices. The deep green velvet backing remains especially attractive and gives the set outstanding display appeal.
A scarce and highly desirable matched pair seldom encountered on the market, particularly in complete matching condition. Ideal for advanced collectors of German forestry, hunting administration, and specialized Third Reich insignia.
Condition: Original wartime pair showing honest age wear and light service/storage handling. No repairs observed.
