Description
Early example of a pointed tip M36 shoulderboard to an enlisted man in Schutzen Regiment 3. Consisting of a field grey base board with pointed tip and no piping color on the edges. The board shows the gothic embroidered K for Schützen with the number 1 for 3rd Regiment in the rosa pink coloring for armored troops. Great early piece of insignia!
Note – When Germany first introduced Motorized Infantry in the 1930s those regiments that were the Infantry component of the Panzer Divisions, prior to being known as Panzer Grenadiers (from 1942), were termed ‘Schützen Regimenter’ (organized into ‘Schützen Brigaden’) Overall this set is fantastic, with matching wear and clear signs of being field worn. Truly a rare set to find these days!
