Original matching pair of WW2 German Heer officer’s shoulder boards, sew-on style, worn by a company-grade officer (likely Leutnant) of the 68th Infantry Regiment (Infanterie-Regiment 68).
Silver Russia braid over white wool underlay (infantry waffenfarbe)
Metal regimental cyphers: “68”, correctly affixed
Age-consistent wear with fraying to edges; obverse shows slightly oxidized numerals
The 68th Infantry Regiment was part of the 23rd Infantry Division, which saw heavy action on the Eastern Front. These are an excellent example of frontline officer insignia.
