PAIR OF EPAULETS OF THE MARSHAL OF FRANCE, Third Republic. 27171
They are embroidered with twists and gold 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, and the marshals' badge in blue and gold enameled brass representing two crossed sticks decorated with stars linked together by a red enameled ribbon (height 2 cm, width 5 cm) framed by seven silver stars.
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; an inner second 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.
Uniform button 1872 (half-curved, gold to burnished and matte, stamped and relief of two crossed marshals' batons surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel leaves), fixed at the top of the epaulet body, a strong clip marked “MARQUE DE FABRIQUE” is placed below, in the corresponding part (this clip engages in a small gusset sewn on the uniform).

Shield and twists: length 7 cm, width 13.7 cm.
Fringes: height 5.8 cm.
