Mountain Tropp/Jager Major's Shoulder Boards. - Mountain Tropp/Jager Major's Shoulder Boards (Schulterstücke) Although the officer’s shoulder boards underwent numerous minor modifications they remained basically the same right up until the end of WWII. The different branches of service within the German army were allocated a specific, identifying, waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Color), with green being chosen for Gebirgsjäger, (Mountain Troop), and Jäger, (Light Infantry), personnel which was generally displayed as the base on the shoulder boards. Due to the overlapping use of various shades of green waffenfarbe by Schützen, (Rifles), Gebirgsjäger, (Mountain troops), Jägers, (Light Infantry), and Panzer Grenadiers, (Armored Infantry), it is difficult to attribute the branch of service with absolute certainty. Slip on shoulder boards of interwoven, bright, silver/aluminum Russian braid mounted on a mid-green wool waffenfarbe bases. The, machine applied, narrow light green wool slip on retaining tongues are both intact. VERY IMPORTANT !!! Shiping from our office in Europe
