Single, WH (Heeres), 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboard: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Eisenbahn-Pioniere-Abtlgs. 8'

This is a neat - regrettably single but nevertheless still scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboard as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Eisenbahn-Pioniere-Abteilungs 8' (or: lieutnant first-class who served within an armoured-trains-related, engineers' unit ie. regiment numbered: '8') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued and/or used- ie. minimally worn-), condition. The board - which measures approximately 10,3 cms. in length has the somewhat 'sub-dued' silver-coloured 'upperdeck' - and does show some minor wear, age and/or minimal staining. The board came mounted onto its period (smaller-sized) tongue attached. It shows a neat (Gothic-styled, larger-sized, bright-golden-toned and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'E'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer'), an (equally-styled and smaller-sized): '8'-numeral and a single (larger-sized- and I deem also 'Buntmetall'-based) pip period-attached, denoting the officers'-rank ie. function of an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Eisenbahn-Pioniere-Abteilungs 8'. All three devices do show some minimal age ie. tarnish: they have, however, maintained a very attractive and truly 'frosted' appearance. Simply an attractive - and most certainly desirable! - neatly 'cyphered', 'Eisenbahnpioniere'-related officers'-type shoulderboard that was intended for an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Eisenbahn-Pioniere-Abteilungs 8'!
