The black and red chevrons indicate it's from the Kingdom of Württemberg. None of the references I have, which are very few, show this particular cypher so I can't tell you exactly which regiment it belongs to.

This one is the shoulder board of an Oberleutnant as a "Flügeladjutant des Königs von Württemberg"

( "aide-de-camp of the king of Württemberg")

It shows the personally "W" for Wilhelm II von Württemberg and the "R" for Rex

Thank you Andy. Would you be so kind and provide me with any additional information on "Flügeladjutant des Königs von Württemberg"? Is it a common shoulder board?

Thanks,

Marcin

Hello Andy,

Where did you find this? I could not see it in "Das Deutsche Heer". Excellent reply, by the way.

Hi Marcin!

I think, it´s a quite rare shoulder board. Normally the Flügeladjutanten were staff-officiers, but I think they had deputies too. The Flügeladutanten were a chain link between the king and the armies or the army corps.

Chip. I found the monogramm on plate 3 of the "collection of Gluska". It was shown in an edition of the "Zeitschrift für Heereskunde jan/feb. 1978.

Andy,

Good researching. I did not even think to look there even though I have it. I agree that this would be a very rare thing to find. Congratulations Marcin!
