These are original German Bundeswehr Officer Shoulder Boards in unissued, like-new condition.
Authentic German Insignia
These genuine German Bundeswehr Officer Shoulder Boards (Schulterklappen) are authentic military surplus from the German Army (Heer). Designed for the standard service dress uniform (Dienstanzug), each board features a durable basalt grey twill wool-blend face edged with silver twisted cord braiding to signify officer rank status.
Waffenfarbe Branch Colours
The base is lined with a thick wool felt underlay displaying the official Waffenfarbe (corps colour). This historic German military tradition marks specific service branches: bright red for Artillery (Artillerie), hunter green for Infantry (Infanterie), rosa pink for Armoured units (Panzertruppe), and black for Combat Engineers (Pioniere).
Uniform Attachment & Display
Built to strict military standards, each shoulder board has a sturdy rear fabric tongue and buttonhole. This allows seamless mounting onto shoulder loops of service tunics, greatcoats, or collector mannequins without altering the garment. Rated in Supergrade unissued condition, they provide pristine detail for living history displays.

This item was used by the German Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
