Some shoulderboards

[Noor]

Hi all,

Very nice boards here guys! I must say, I haven't look at this subforum regulary at all.

Uniform elements are not my main interest but I have obtain few pits and pieces over the period of time in order to bring more "life" to the ribbon bars displays.

So, I would like to share a picture with you guys, what I have so far. Any comments much apprisiated.

All the best,

Timo aka Noor

Hmm, I was pretty sure they are all from WW1 period .

Here is one better scan as requested...

[Noor]

Naxos, are you sure about WW2.... to me, it's looks like imperial crown on the button.

Now with the better scan - I can see it is not WWII - I have no idea what it is - some guard unit). Perhaps Chip might now

Does the board have the national colors (black - white - red) woven in?

Timo,

Nice items, as I have told you before. All are WWI vintage or earlier. The M15 FAR strap is not from the 12th regiment, as it was a cyphered regiment. I suspect it is either a munitions column strap or one from the Landwehr unit. The reserve regiment normally wore a metal unit number.

The collar tab is from a Saxon grenadier overcoat. The Saxons changed from the old full color collar tabs to a gray or gray-green tab (depending on the branch) in April of 1908. Infantry units were red piped.

The naval officer's board is also pre-1918 and is for the rank of Marine-Oberingenieur.

Thanks for showing them.

But the "Pickel" is wrong on this board. If he was an Marine-Oberingenieur he would wear the crown above the anchor.

Alex,

I believe you are thinking of the "Ober" as related to the Deckoffizier ranks. This is a regular officer, and the "Ober" refers to the pip, as in Oberleutnant. Naval engineer officers did not wear the crown and riband over the anchor insignia.

Regards,

Chip
