Piped service tunic with 1941 regulation pattern shoulderboards and collar tabs. |

Close up of the ’41 pattern shoulder boards
exhibiting the highly detailed silver batons and all braid in gold as per
regulation. |
Close up of ’41 style collar tabs which are an
elongated version of standard generals tabs showing
three prongs signifying Generalfeldmarschall. |
|
A grouping of GFM von Bock insignia reflecting a mix of
1941 regulation style shoulderboards in all gold
cording with detailed batons and non-regulation standard General officer (not
Generalfeldmarschall) collar tabs. This is not at all unusual. A careful study of period photographs
shows many GFM wearing a mixture of regulation and non-regulation boards and
tabs. |
