Moderately used pair of WH (Kriegsmarine) NCO-type shoulderboards as intended for a medium-ranked, administrative-official (ie. NCO) having the rank of an: 'Oberfeldwebel' (ie.: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes')

The attractive - fully matching and actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Kriegsmarine) related shoulderboard-pair - which was intended for usage by a medium-ranked NCO having the comparable rank of an: 'Oberfeldwebel' (or: sergeant first-class) - is constructed from the specific, darker-blue-coloured- and/or: smooth-like- (ie. moleskin-type-) wool and does have the (typical-) darker-blue- and/or: silver-coloured (twisted) 'upperdecks' as per regulation as can be seen on the pictures. The boards - which were clearly used and/or worn as such - measure approximately 11 cms. in length each and do show a pair (identical, regular-sized and/or 'Buntmetall'-based) eagle-devices, a pair of (identical, zinc-based) 'Laufbahnzeichen' and four (regular-sized, and/or 'Buntmetall'-based) pips, period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebels-Rang'. The boards came mounted onto their functional 'Auf der Steg'-mounting (and were as such I deem indented for usage onto a white-coloured ie. summer-type tunic). This particular shoulderboard-pair originated from a private household in Germany and was never before part of a collection: the boards were clearly used- and/or worn and do show some moderate age, wear and/or staining. It should be noted that these Kriegsmarine-related, NCO-type shoulderboards as were intended for medium-ranked administrative-officials (ie. 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebelsrang') can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that this very attractive pair is accordingly priced!
