Vintage surplus used by the entirety of the German People's Army. These shoulder boards display rank and the corresponding troop or corps colours. These were issued from 1986 onwards after the Germans revitalised their uniforms, which had been taking place since the mid 70's.

I've done my best to distinguish the colours, I believe they are all in order, but please do correct me if I'm wrong!

Each epaulette is beautifully coloured, having vibrant hues piped along the edges. As the ranks go higher, the more ornate they become, having delightful silver lace running across. Even higher ranks have silver thread weaved over itself. These are a lovely touch for any collection or reenactor, but of course work just as well for costumes, fancy dress and reworking.
