Very nice but it's the field officers shoulder board M1943 used till 1946. However rank stars (this style was introduced in 1954) and button (used on 1946+ boards) are wrong. If you can find the correct early flat type stars and grooved button you'd be golden!
Here is the picture of the narrow field ones from my collection, I also have loads of everyday narrows, but that's the whole different story. Please note that some have green-painted insignia (1943 regulations clearly noted silver or golden-color depending on branch insignia/emblem and golden button.) The picture is way over-compressed I don't know why we have so low 50K limit.

I am not sure if the button is wrong, but the branch insignia look aluminium to me - like from late 60's at best. Possibly someone "improved" an original board with new insignia - stars and emblem
