Fully matching pair of later-war-period, 'cyphered' WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Hauptmann des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst'

This is an attractive, fully matching pair of later-war-period, 'cyphered' WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the( typical) bright-blue- (ie. 'hellblauer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for an administration- (ie. 'Verwaltungs'-related-) officer ie.: 'Hauptmann des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst' (being of a rank comparable with a: captains'-rank) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately worn ie. most certainly once tunic-removed-), condition. The boards - which have an approximate length of 11,5 cms. - are executed in the 'smooth'-like- and/or (typical) bright-blue- (ie. 'hellblauer'-) coloured wool (aka 'moleskin'-wool) as was specifically intended for the various later-war-period, administrative- (ie. 'Verwaltung'-) officials. The boards - which were worn on the 'standard'-type, field-grey-coloured 'Heeres'-tunics - have identical, golden-coloured (ie. I deem zinc-based-) so-called: 'Merkurstab'-cyphers and four (regular-sized, but non-matching) pips period-attached denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Hauptmann'. The shoulderboard-pair never had any tongues attached and was used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair was moderately used and shows as stated above moderate age, wear and/or staining. Both boards show moderate wear, age and or staining and were with certainty once tunic-attached. This scarcely seen (later-war-period-) 'TSD'-related shoulderboard-pair (which was instituted as late as April 1944) was recently found at a private household in Germany and was most certainly worn as such: the 'TSD'-official who wore the set always kept and stored it as a souvenir. Simply an attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - officers'-type shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: Heeres-related 'Hauptmann des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst'!
