J007258 (IJA) CASED 2ND LIEUTENANT'S SERVICE UNIFORM SHOULDER BOARDS. A pair of service dress shoulder boards, within their original case. Each of the boards are 4 3/4" long, 1 5/16" wide, and approximately 5/8" thick. They are both comprised of interwoven golden-yellow cords, with a decorative, golden-colored alloy button to one end and a nickel-silver plated alloy, five-pointed star affixed along their centers. This configuration indicated the rank of Second Lieutenant. The buttons each have a cherry blossom against a pebbled background to them. The undersides of the boards are lined in olive drab wool and have, protruding from one end, 3 9/16" x 11/16" nickel-silver plated alloy tabs to them. The free ends of the tabs have circular cut-outs to them, and nickel-silver plated alloy hooks are beyond those, positioned to the underside of the buttoned ends of the boards. The boards are lightly age and usage soiled, and the finish to their stars is noticeably worn. They are wrapped in tissue paper and nested within separate compartments to the interior of their original storage case. The 3 3/4" x 5 11/16" x 1 3/8", cardboard case has a paper hinged lid, upon which is glued a 7/8" x 1 9/16" paper tag, within whose decorative border are ink stamped several kanji characters. What appears to be a price marking, in Yen, is ink stamped, in red, to the bottom of the case. The exterior of the case is age and usage soiled, with light edge wear, and the corners of its lid have split, but it is otherwise intact.
