These silver pebbled German shoulder board buttons fit wartime military tunics and field blouses.
Authentic Shoulder Strap Fastening
Historically designated as Schulterklappenknöpfe, 17mm buttons were standard issue across German Army field tunics from M36 to M43 patterns. They secured removable shoulder straps and insignia firmly in place without slipping under heavy webbing or marching packs.
Anti-Glare Pebbled Finish
The distinct pebbled surface (gekörnte Struktur) was developed to scatter light and eliminate battlefield glare. Stamped from durable metal, each button features the classic domed profile that provides accurate texture and reliable everyday wear resistance.
Rear Shank and Period Markings
Fitted with a sturdy metal wire shank, these buttons easily stitch onto tunic shoulders or fasten with split rings. The reverse side features crisp embossed details, including historical Extra Fein and maker stamps that replicate original field hardware.
Complete your uniform restoration or historical tunic display with accurate German shoulder strap buttons.
This item was issued to the German Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and remains in Supergrade condition. It is unissued original surplus, but may have minor dust or storage marks from warehouse storage. We recommend giving it a wash or airing it out before wearing.
Supergrade is our highest condition rating for genuine military surplus. Items in this category are in near-new, top-tier condition and have seen little to no field use.
- Origin: Typically unissued reserve stock, trial gear, or kit issued but never actively deployed.
- Fabric & Materials: Crisp, fully intact, and structurally perfect with original color vibrancy and no fading.
- Hardware & Fastenings: Zips, press studs, hook-and-loop closures, and buckles operate like new with no functional wear.
- Markings & Repairs: No holes, tears, repairs, or personalized user markings. Factory issue labels and faint depot storage stamps may be present.
- Storage & Scent: May show minor creasing or light dust from transit. Like most authentic military surplus held in long-term dry storage, items may carry a faint warehouse scent that clears easily with a quick first wash or air-out.
