What are these shoulder boards please?

[Ron C.]

I have no idea what these are........they are just a few Imperial things I came across over the years.

Thanks,

They both appear to be Prussian army officer's dress epaulettes. They are both for the rank of Oberleutnant.

I believe the first one with the numeral 9 on it is for Colbergsches-Grenadier-Regiment Graf Gneisenau (2. Pommersches) Nr.9.

I'm having a bit of a problem on the second one. The silver braid with black lines indicates a Prussian regiment, but the only regiment I can find with that cypher and a white shoulder strap is 2. Badisches Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm I. Nr.110, which I would have thought would have the Baden colors on the lace, but I could be wrong.

These came with the ones above.

Mike, Baden did not use their own colors on lace, shoulder baords etc. They fell uder the Preußen order of battle and wore Preußen black/white. Only for the cap and Pickelhaube Kokarden did Baden use the red/gold colors. Tony

Thanks, Tony. I was thinking that might be the case, but my color uniform plates are all at the office! I used Kaiser's Bunker for my research, but I couldn't find anything about the lace.
