[km-spain]

HEllo, I need you help about these shoulder boards, could be from an Admiral, WW!, Weimarm ... ??? if not any help to ientify them would be great.

Thanks in advance

First, I would say that they are not navy boards. The colored threads of red and black are the type you would see on Württemberg boards. Take a look at this thread and notice the distinctive navy colored darts.

Then look at this thread and see typical Württemberg officer's colored darts.

If the color in your boards are red , then I'd say yes. There are a good pair of shoulder board buttons on ebay.de for 50,00, and I would think they would improve the appearance of your boards

I haven't researched but is it possible these are a general "a la suite" to a cavalry Regt?

I'm still not sure if these could be for an Admiral, i can not find references with this blue backing. I bought them as Reichsmarine Admiral shoulder boards.

As Chip said above black+red the the colors for WÜRTTEMBERG, here a pic from an Infatry Regiment, so this match, but the blue backing could be for a Cavalery (Hussars or Ulhans) Regiment? In other pics you see only the black color, so don't know what think about this.

Any additional thought?

Just found this thread.
Sorry, I bought the buttons for my Imperial Navy Lieutenant boards.
