This replaced the silver bullion epaulettes as a war time economy measure, the black/white chevron denoting Prussian service, the red underlay the artillery branch, and the number that of the regiment. By virtue of the single pip, this is for an oberleutnant's rank. The insignia is zinc with a feldgrau wash.
There are several moth nips to the reverse and the cloth securing strap is missing. Overall, however, the condition is exellent for its age.
