Shoulderboard

[abbl]

Does someone know what these are?
Are they german ww1?

Hello abbl,

Although the crown and the pips look good for the period, the board itself does not resemble anything that I am familiar with. Officer's boards should have some sort of colored darts in the cording. They look more like a Bundeswehr or East German strap to me.

Chip,
Could it be an Oberstleutnant board, did they color dart those.
I know some Infantry regiments had green backing, but could it be for Jager and is that a Hesse crown?

Eric,

All Imperial army era officer's shoulderboards had a color dart in the material, company grade, field grade, and general officers.

Sure no Bundeswehr or East German strap and no military.
