German WWII Shoulder Swallow Nests

These are a pair of German WWII shoulder swallow nests, likely intended for infantry drummers. Constructed with a silver tress design, these epaulettes would have been affixed to the shoulders of a uniform. The intricate silver detailing and construction suggest a degree of formality or a specific unit designation within the German army during World War II.

Condition and Collectibility

These shoulder swallow nests exhibit signs consistent with age and military use. While the silver tress remains largely intact, there may be minor wear or imperfections. These epaulettes are of interest to collectors of WWII militaria, particularly those focused on German army uniforms and insignia. They represent a tangible piece of history and offer insight into the uniforms and roles within the German military during the Second World War.
