PAIR OF COUNTER-ADMIRAL'S EPAULETS IN ITS TRANSPORT BOX, Third Republic. 27610

They are embroidered with twists and golden sequins. The body is embroidered with a design depicting a V-shaped stick braid bordered by a scalloped framing strip on black velvet; its crest is decorated with a shield adorned with two silver stars and a gilded brass anchor. Black velvet lining.
The fringes are in large matte twists. The outline is made up of three turns: a large one in matte satin and shiny yarn rolled alternately on a cotton core; a second, interior, in small twisted matte Milanese, mixed with another simple shiny one; a third, of the same work, is applied below the thick one, at the beginning of the fringe.
Model 1872 uniform button for admirals (half-curved, burnished and matt gold, stamped in relief with the arms of general officers, plumed helmet surmounting a shield stamped with a star on a background of lictor's bundle and flags), fixed at the top of the epaulet body by a strong clip. Everything is stitched on a marine anchor.

Presented in its cardboard transport box covered with scarlet paper.
