Description
Presented here is an exquisite example of a Prussian Generalfeldmarschall M-1915 subdued shoulder board, measuring 1.5″ x 4.” The position of the Generalfeldmarschall was the highest rank attainable in the German Army during World War I, and was held by only a select few. This particular shoulder board is believed to have been worn by one of six different Prussian Generalfeldmarschall during the war.
The shoulder board features black and white Prussian chevrons, which are prominently displayed on the subdued silver rope that is enclosed within a border of muted, dark-gold braid. The detailing on the crossed, restrained-silver Generalfeldmarschall batons is particularly noteworthy and impressive.
The reverse of the shoulder board reveals a sewn-in red felt backing, which is an unusual variation. The overall condition of this shoulder board is excellent, making it a rare and highly desirable piece for collectors of military memorabilia.
In conclusion, this Prussian Generalfeldmarschall M-1915 subdued shoulder board is a remarkable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the elite ranks of the German Army during World War I. Its impeccable detailing and excellent condition make it a valuable addition to any military collection.
