Single, WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern 'cyphered' shoulderboard: 'Oberst einer Veterinär-Abtlgs.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless not that easily found! - neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern shoulderboard as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberst einer Veterinär-Abteilungs' (or: full-colonel who served within or even commanded an army veterinarian unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The board - which is approximately 10 cms. sized in length as more often encountered - is piped in the neat darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured and/or: 'smooth'-type wool and came without tongue: it was clearly used as a board of the 'sew-in-type'. The board shows a regular-sized- (and bright golden-coloured) so-called: veterinarian- (ie. snake-type-) cypher and two (and equally-styled albeit non matching) pips period-attached, denoting the officers-function of: 'Veterinär'. The board has the silverish-grey-coloured- and/or fairly sub-dued 'upperdeck' making it - I deem - a piece that was specifically intended for usage on a regular, officers-type army-tunic. It was with certainty carefuly tunic-removed and does show some stitching-remains. It should, however, be noted that the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour is one of the more difficult to encounter branchcolours of the entire: 'Deutsche Wehrmacht'. This particular board originated from a larger cloth- ie. 'cyphered' shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Nevertheless a great occasion to acquire an attractive and/or desirable, high-ranked WH officers'-pattern shoulderboard that was intended for usage by an: 'Oberst einer Veterinär-Abteilungs'!
