WW1 Imperial German 26th Infantry Feldgrau Shoulder Board Insignia Single

The WW1 Imperial German 26th Infantry Feldgrau Shoulder Board Insignia represents an authentic piece of military uniform from the German Army during the First World War. This single shoulder board is constructed from feldgrau (field grey) wool, the standard color adopted by German forces to provide camouflage and uniformity on the battlefield. The board features the regimental numeral “26,” designating its use by a member of the 26th Infantry Regiment. The construction includes a reinforced core, typical of the period, and the edges are finished with subdued stitching. Shoulder boards such as this were worn on the tunic to denote the soldier’s unit and, in some cases, their rank and role within the regiment. These insignia form an essential part of the German uniform, reflecting the military organization of the era. This item is offered as a single shoulder board, suitable for historical study or display within a collection.
