WW2 German Army Artillery Administration 10th Corps Officer’s Shoulder Board Insignia Single

This item is a single WW2 German Army Artillery Administration Officer’s Shoulder Board, associated with the 10th Corps. The shoulder board is constructed with interwoven materials in the typical style used by the German Heer (Army) during the Second World War. The color scheme and piping indicate assignment to an officer in the Artillery Administration branch, with specific designations for service within the 10th Corps. Such insignia were worn on the tunic to display both rank and corps affiliation. The construction features a braided silver cord atop a colored underlay, which corresponds to the Artillery Administration service arm. This piece provides an example of period uniform insignia that reflects the organizational structure and identification methods used within the Wehrmacht during WW2. The item represents the regulation pattern adopted for officers of this branch and era, and would have been worn as a part of the official dress during service.
