Vintage U.S. Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade Shoulder Boards Pair with Bullion Rank Stars

A matched pair of vintage U.S. Navy officer shoulder boards featuring two gold bullion rank stripes and embroidered line officer stars on dark navy wool backing with gilt buttons. The two stripe configuration denotes the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG), the U.S. Navy equivalent of a First Lieutenant in the Army. These shoulder boards display some age and handling wear consistent with use, with some minor fraying and scattered surface lint visible in the wool backing. An attractive set for collectors of U.S. Naval uniforms, aviation memorabilia, or officer insignia displays.
