Description
Allgemeine Officer’s Shoulder Board Slip On. From May 1933 to October 1933 this shoulder board was for the ranks of SS-Standartenführer to SS-Oberführer and from October 1933 until the end of the war the shoulder board was for the ranks of SS-Sturmbannführer to SS-Standartenführer. These first pattern shoulder straps were also worn by the SS-Verfügungstruppe and the SS-Totenkopfverbände, which were to become the nucleus of the Waffen-SS. This was from a vet who picked it up from the picker who got it out of a Dachau bringback lot. LH9678
