The shoulders are adorned with Heer Medical Stabsoffiziere Schulterstücken ( Staff Officer shoulder boards), incorporating two rows of fine silver flatware “Russia Braid” double piping, which are plaited together to form a loop around the buttonhole. The sides and underside are Medizinblau (Medical / Deep Blue), the Waffenfarbe (corps color) for the Heer Sanitätstruppe (Military medical service). Each bears 2 gold rank “pips” surrounding the medical service Asklepian (Rod of Asclepius). This indicates the staff officer rank of Oberstarzt (Chief Physician).
