This is a test gallery for Imperial Shoulder Boards and Straps. The link is HERE! I would appreciate any corrections, comments, photos, or suggestions. My references are not very complete for this subject

Did a big reorganization so the boards and straps are grouped by uniform regulations and added some rare boards to the gallery

Testing a second gallery containing epaulettes and officer's regimental cyphers. The current Collar/Shoulder Tabs gallery is large enough that this one is going to be a separate gallery. I'll post a link as soon as the test runs are complete

OK the gallery link is HERE! Let me know if you see any errors or problems

After looking at it, this information works better as one Gallery, so they have been combined. Above link is dead. All the photos are in the Collar/Shoulder Tabs - Imperial Gallery

Replaced the Officer Shoulder Board Cypher section with examples of the cyphers on shoulder boards. I think this about does it

Added examples from the 1866 Prussian regulations. These were worn by haumptmann, oberleutnant, and leutnant ranks until the 1888 regulations standardized the imperial shoulder boards for all officer ranks.

Total photos at 485 shoulder straps, 65 epaulettes, and 8 collar tab examples. Enjoy

Vern!!!!! That is amazing! The epaulettes are incredible...beautifully done

Thanks, glad you like them
