East German NVA Tactical Combat Field Shoulder Boards Pair (Olive Drab)

Complete your Cold War field uniform build or militaria display with an authentic matched pair of East German Army (NVA) Combat Field Shoulder Boards (Schulterklappen). Sourced directly from unissued former GDR military stocks, these low-profile shoulder boards represent the tactical field gear worn by Nationale Volksarmee ground forces during tactical operations and field maneuvers.

Field Uniform Construction & Tactical Design

Unlike the brightly colored wool shoulder boards worn on parade or service dress coats, these combat field versions were constructed from a muted, durable olive drab canvas fabric. Specifically manufactured for the NVA field service uniform (Felddienstuniform) and Strichtarn ("rain pattern") field jackets, their low-reflectivity finish ensured maximum camouflage efficiency in tactical environments.

Current Rank Configuration & Upgrade Potential

The shoulder boards are supplied in their original blank baseline configuration:

  • Current Rank: Soldat (Private / Enlisted baseline)
  • Insignia Details: Clean olive canvas surface without silver border Tresse or rank pips.
  • Customization Ready: Includes pre-formed buttonholes and eyelets, allowing reenactors or collectors to easily pin metal rank pips or stitch NCO rank braid (Tresse) to build higher enlisted, NCO, or officer rank impressions.

Unissued Military Surplus Condition

Preserved in clean, unissued new-old-stock (NOS) condition, these field shoulder boards are free from wear, fraying, or field degradation. Ideal for historical reenactors, militaria collectors, costume designers, and Cold War history enthusiasts.
