    What are these shoulder boards please?

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

    Thanks,
    Ron

    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.

          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.
