Help to identify this Epaulette

[03fahnen]

Hello,
I need help

years ago, buy this piece, in a lot of German Epauletten

someone can help me identify if he is German, and from what unit?

Thank you.

It dont looks German , the use of braided numbers was not a German practice.

I retained these images for my Bavarian 10.IR archive, but this is not one I am well versed about. These are for a specific type of uniform, or may just dress up the usual uniform for certain events. I'd gather the 24.IR may have had this simple private purchase type, but is it a Bavarian specific style, or used by other German armies?

I have just read this thread. 

It is a Prussian epaulette from around 1825. 24th infantry regiment, located Neu-Ruppin and Prenzlau. Embroidered numbers with a dot behind were introduced in the year 1816. Since 1830 the numbers were made of metal.

My photo shows a pair of epaulettes of the 20th infantry regiment, same period.These early versions are much more interesting to me than the late epaulets, but they are hard to find.

thank you very much.

Are they for officers or troop classes?
