Unusual insignia-grouping, comprising of a matching pair of WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as used by an: 'Oberleutnant eines Nachrichten-Rgts.' that comes with its accompanying ID-disc (bearing the stamped unit-designation: '3.N.A.3'...

The neat WH (Heeres) 'standard'-type, officers'-pattern shoulderboards are piped in the bright-yellow- (ie. 'zitronengelber'-) coloured branchcolour and are 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type, 'Nachrichten'- (ie. signals-) shoulderboards and have the greyish-silver- (ie. somewhat sub-dued-) 'upperdecks': they were clearly issued and/or used and were carefully tunic-removed. The boards show the desirable bright-yellow- (ie. 'zitronengelber'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the smooth-type wool as to be expected). The boards measure approximately 11 cms. in length each and never had any tongues attached: they were clearly worn as a pair of the 'sew-in'-type. The pair shows some minimal age and/or staining (simply caused by decades of storage and/or fair wear as can be seen on the pictures). The pair shows two (identical, golden-toned) pips and was thus intended for an officer holding the rank of: 'Oberleutnant'. It should be mentioned that these 'Heeres'-type 'Nachrichten'-shoulderboards are actually not that easily encountered and can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'. The pair originates from a private-household in Germany and was found together with its accompanying aluminium-based- ID-disc from the same bearer. This disc - which is executed in aluminium-based metal - bears the stamped unit-designation: '3.N.A.3' and was as such a disc that was (I deem) intended for an officer who served within- (ie. commanded the 3rd company!) of the: 'Nachrichten-Abteilung 3'. The disc comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly used ie. worn-) condition and is executed in a very attractive letter-type: it shows the clear evidence of having been used ie. worn (it shows somewhat torn-out holes - see pictures). The disc also shows the bearers'-blood-group: type '0' (as can be seen on the pictures) and was never cleaned nor polished (it is still a bit stained and/or dirty). Simply a neat small-sized grouping that originated from a: 'Heeres-Nachrichten'-officer!
