EAST GERMAN DARK GREEN SGT. SHOULDER BOARDS NEW

These East German (NVA) Sergeant shoulder boards are an authentic-style reproduction pair finished to the standards collectors and reenactors expect. Featuring grey wool fields trimmed with silver NCO braid and dark green piping, they represent the rank insignia worn by NCOs of the Rear Services / Logistics branch of the Nationale Volksarmee. Sold in new, unissued condition, they're ready to sew onto a tunic or display in a frame.

Cold War-era East German militaria continues to be one of the steadiest performers in the surplus category. Reenactors building accurate NVA impressions, collectors filling out rank sets, and film/theater wardrobe departments all reach for pieces like these. Because they're new production rather than scarce originals, they're an easy stock item that turns over predictably without the condition headaches of vintage stock.
