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.

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