Silver Pebbled German Shoulder Board Buttons - 17mm
Excellent, near-new condition. May be unissued or show only the slightest signs of long-term storage.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
These silver pebbled German shoulder board buttons fit wartime military tunics and field blouses.
Authentic Shoulder Strap Fastening
Historically designated as Schulterklappenknöpfe, 17mm buttons were standard issue across German Army field tunics from M36 to M43 patterns. They secured removable shoulder straps and insignia firmly in place without slipping under heavy webbing or marching packs.
Anti-Glare Pebbled Finish
The distinct pebbled surface (gekörnte Struktur) was developed to scatter light and eliminate battlefield glare. Stamped from durable metal, each button features the classic domed profile that provides accurate texture and reliable everyday wear resistance.
Rear Shank and Period Markings
Fitted with a sturdy metal wire shank, these buttons easily stitch onto tunic shoulders or fasten with split rings. The reverse side features crisp embossed details, including historical Extra Fein and maker stamps that replicate original field hardware.
Complete your uniform restoration or historical tunic display with accurate German shoulder strap buttons.
This item was issued to the German Army during the WWII (1939–1945) and remains in Supergrade condition. It is unissued original surplus, but may have minor dust or storage marks from warehouse storage. We recommend giving it a wash or airing it out before wearing.
