It bears a button and eagle of gilt brass and three stripes at the outermost end.

VINTAGE: Circa 1920.

SIZE: Approximately 5-5/16" in length and 2-1/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Wool felt wrapped cardboard, embroidery tape, gilt brass.

ATTACHMENT: Straps, button.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a French militaria collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX12 LABEX4/12 RETCON3/13

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The shoulder board is in very good condition save for some areas of moderate wear/tarnish to the stripes.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
