I think this is a Forestry shoulder tab of some kind, picked it up at a large antique market yesterday, Dark green velvet reverse, front has a tarnished golden background with the green braided front.My only reference I have is just line drawings with no colour, could this be for an Oberlandforstmeister.?

Hi Gary! Nice board. It appears to have had a pip at one time. Definately for the State forestry service. I will have to look up the exact rank.

Hi Paul

I think your right, I never noticed that clean area before, I can it clearly now you have pointed it out, I'll have to try find a pip.

Thanks

Gary
