Title Prussian Artillery officer's epaulette
Nationality German
Period 1915-18
Sold

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.

Got the sword today and I'm very happy with it.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
