Regulus1 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hi,Can anyone ID these shoulder boards ? It is said that they are all civilian ones, but I have serious doubts about it.http://www.forumeerstewereldoorlog.nl/viewtopic.php?t=17359Never seen anything like the middle one before...Thanks and best from Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Johan,The middle board is a private purchase Beamter piece from a pre-1913 overcoat. The rank would be Unterzahlmeister (Kassenwesen). I suppose if you wanted to go for a stretch identification it could also be that of an Offizierstellvertreter from one of the See Bataillone. Since it was never worn, there is a possibily that the metal insignia was never attached.The left piece is a M15 infantry officer from the 237.R.I.R. for the Kleinerrock or Waffenrock. The right board is a nice (unissued) officer's example from the imperial navy.Chip Edited December 31, 2008 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
