WH (Heeres), 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboard-pair as intended for a: 'Hauptmann einer Veterinär-Abtlgs.'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually scarcely found! - WH (Heeres), neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboard-pair that is piped in the neat darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour and that was as such intended for usage by a: 'Hauptmann einer Veterinär-Abteilungs' (or: captain who served within a specific army veterinarian-unit) and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem just moderately used ie. worn- and/or clearly tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards are truly 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type, 'Veterinäre'-shoulderboards and have the greyish-silver-coloured (ie. somewhat sub-dued-) 'upperdecks'. They never had any tongues attached and were clearly worn as a pair of the sew-in-pattern and were carefully tunic-removed (and still show some of the stitching-remains with which they were once tunic-attached). Theboards show the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour (and are constructed from the smooth- ie. 'moleskin'-type wool). The pair - that was recently found at a German private-household - shows a fully matching pair of regular-sized- (and darker-golden-coloured!) so-called: veterinarian- (ie. snake-type-) cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and two pairs of (equally-styled and also darkened golden-toned) pips period-attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 11 cms. in length each. The boards were most certainly used and/or worn as such and do show some moderate age, wear and/or staining: they are of course fully functional and can easily serve to complete any tunic. Simply an attractive - and comparatively scarcely encountered! - officers'-type, 'Veterinäre'-related shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: 'Hauptmann einer Veterinär-Abteilungs'!
