Pair of - truly used- and/or worn! - WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abtlgs. 9'

The truly attractive - neatly 'cyphered' and actually quite rarely found! - WH (Heeres) ie. 'Kavallerie o. Aufklärungs'-related shoulderboard-pair is piped in the neat golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured branchcolour and was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abteilungs 9' (or: army lieutnant first-class who served within the cavalry- ie. reconnaissance-unit, numbered: '9') and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. most certainly issued and/or moderately used- ie. worn- and most certainly carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The truly attractive shoulderboards are 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type, 'Kavallerie'-related shoulderboards and have the greysish-silver-coloured (ie. somewhat sub-dued) 'upperdecks'. The boards show the desirable golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the typical smooth-type wool as more often seen). The boards came mounted onto their (typical smaller-sized, officers'-type) tongues attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 11cms. in length each and show a (fully matching) pair of (larger-sized, Gothic-styled- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'A'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and a matching set of (also golden-toned, smaller-sized- and/or also 'Buntmetall'-based): '9'-numerals (ie. Ziffern) and a pair of (larger-sized and equally-styled) pips period-attached denoting the officers'-rank of an: 'Oberleutnant' (ie. lieutnant first-class). All six devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished but have preserved a fine (and minimally tarnished) age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair was truly used as such as does show some moderate age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and neatly 'cyphered'! - WH (Heeres) shoulderboard-pair pair that belonged to an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abteilungs 9'!
