PRUSSIA – EPAULETS – GENERAL LIEUTENANT/ADJUTANT TO KAISER WILHELM II – ORIGINAL STORAGE BOX
SKU: 23-316$5,495.00$4,895.00This is a marvelous pair of epaulets for one of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s adjutants in the rank of generalleutnant……
Height: 4in
Width: 8.5in
Length: 13.25inThis is a marvelous pair of epaulets for one of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s adjutants in the rank of general lieutenant. We have offered Kaiser’s adjutant’s shoulder boards in the past, but this is the very first time we have offered epaulets for such an exalted rank and position.
These epaulets are MASSIVE! Each of them measures 7″ x 6 1/2″ x 3.” The Kaiser’s gilt, crowned cypher is displayed against a rich, checkerboard, silver bullion background. Directly below it is a single, gilt general lieutenant’s pip. Each epaulet’s top is surrounded by a silver crescent. From its patina, I would say it is either silver or German silver. A general officer’s conjoined ringlets hang down from each epaulet. They do not flow freely as, for example, would an oberst’s, but are tightly bound together.
Underneath is a fine leather backing for the ringlets. Furthermore, each epaulet sports a red wool underlay for its. Both epaulets are in EXCELLENT condition and totally problem-free.
They come in a large storage case that measures 13 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ x 4.” The case’s bottom is lined with white and pink silk. White ties hold the epaulets in place. The storage case is constructed of thick, high-quality, heavy-duty cardboard with a leatherette exterior. The box has protected these epaulets for more than one-hundred-years, since I date them from 1900 through 1910. It is a breathtaking presentation that we are most pleased to share with you.

PRUSSIA – SHOULDER BOARD – GENERAL der INFANTERIE /KAVALLERIE a.D.
SKU: 23-445$995.00
This is a single shoulder board that is larger than normal for a tunic and may have been worn on a great coat. It measures an impressive 2 ¼” x 5 ½.” It was worn by a General der Infanterie or Kavallerie. It is likely that this would have been a.D., which indicated that the man was in retirement. It was customary for an officer to be advanced one rank when he retired from service.
The shoulder board has the pattern that was used by generals and displays two gilt stars. The rank that the man held is equivalent to a Lieutenant General (three stars) in the U.S. Army, Air Force, or USMC. It sports black chevrons on the roping for Prussia. Its reverse displays red felt backing. The strap for attaching the shoulder board to a garment is missing from the reverse. That said, the appearance on the obverse is first-rate.Height: in
