Very sought after shoulder board to a member of the famous Schutzen regiments, anything Schutzen related is very hard to come by no matter what the condition is. The board has an aluminum gothic “S” for Schutzen with the number “1” for Panzer Regiment 1. There is also one rank pip with silver tress along the edge, indicating the rank of Feldwebel. The bright rosa pink waffenfarb, indicating service in a Panzer Division. This board shows clear signs of once being worn on a uniform, the board still has its attachment strap.
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’)
