J006758 (IJA) CASED COLONEL'S DRESS UNIFORM SHOULDER BOARDS. A pair of full dress shoulder boards, within their original case. Each of the boards are 5 9/16" long, 2 1/8" wide, and approximately 7/8" thick. They are both comprised of dual, interwoven golden cords, with a decorative, golden-colored convex alloy button to one end and three, silver-colored alloy, five-pointed stars affixed along their centers. This configuration indicated the rank of Colonel. Each of their undersides are lined in black wool and have, hinged at one end, 4 1/2" x 1" nickel-silver plated alloy tabs to them. The cut-outs to the free ends of these tabs mate with smaller tabs positioned to the underside of the buttoned ends of the boards. The boards are lightly age and usage soiled, and their stars have dulled somewhat. They are wrapped in tissue paper and nested within separate compartments to the interior of their original storage case. Its base is lined in red velvet, and has a central divider, also lined in velvet. The interior lid is lined in padded, red velvet. All of the velvet is lightly nap worn and usage soiled, and much of it has color faded. The exterior of the 6 3/8" x 5 1/4" x 1 1/2", nickel-silver plated alloy case has rounded corners, a pressure locking tab along its forward edge, and dual hinges along its rear. A handle is slid through a brazed plate to the center of its cover. Light to moderate surface scratching and soiling is evident throughout.
