These German WWII Waffen-SS slip-on shoulder boards represent an SS officer rank, commonly associated with the Captain (Hauptsturmführer) level, as indicated by the pip configuration and officer-grade construction. Produced using period-appropriate materials, the boards feature the characteristic silver-gray cord braid with applied rank devices, consistent with Waffen-SS officer insignia of the Second World War. The slip-on format allowed for quick attachment to the shoulder straps of SS uniforms, making them practical for both field and service wear.
Officer-grade Waffen-SS insignia were manufactured in comparatively limited quantities and were subject to post-war destruction, making surviving original examples increasingly difficult to acquire. Shoulder boards such as these provide valuable insight into the structure, hierarchy, and visual language of Nazi-era military uniforms and remain highly sought after by advanced collectors and researchers. This set represents a strong, display-worthy example of Waffen-SS officer regalia suitable for serious WWII German militaria collections.
