Matching pair of postwar German officer’s parade-style shoulder boards featuring elaborate silver bullion-style interwoven cords mounted on crimson/red backing cloth. These elegant shoulder boards were intended for formal dress or parade uniforms and display high-quality period construction.
The vivid crimson underlay suggests use within a branch associated with red Waffenfarbe, possibly administrative, medical, or ceremonial service depending on the exact uniform application. The finely woven silver cords give the boards a striking presentation appearance typical of postwar German ceremonial insignia.
Both boards remain in very good overall condition with light storage wear only. The reverse retains the original fastening tongues and backing cloth, with clean untouched construction throughout.
An attractive matching pair for collectors of postwar German military or police insignia, especially parade and dress uniform material.
