The attractive - and actually fairly scarely seen! - pair of WH (Heeres) shoulderboards on offer here are 'text-book'-examples of the typical Heeres'-type, 'Panzer'-related shoulderboards and have the silverish-grey- (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued'-type) 'upperdecks': they are (I deem) just moderately used- ie. worn and show some minimal age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the desirable bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the 'smooth-type' wool as to be expected). The boards came mounted onto their (typically smaller-sized) tongues and were with certainty worn as such. The boards measure approximately 10,6 cms. in length each and were clearly worn- ie. carefully tunic-removed (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair shows a fully matching set of (neatly golden-toned, larger-sized- and/or fully identical) Gothic-styled: 'P'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') period-attached denoting that the pair belonged to a junior-officer ie. lieutnant who served within a: 'Panzerjäger-Abteilung' (ie. anti-tank- or tank-destroyer-unit). Both devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished but have preserved a fine and fairly bright- (and/or quite shiny!) age-patina. Taking into account the fact that the set has silverish-grey- (ie. somewhat 'shiny'-type-) 'upperdecks' I deem that it was a pair that was used onto a dress-type tunic (ie. 'Waffenrock'). It should be mentioned that these neatly 'cyphered', 'Heeres'-type 'Panzerjäger'-shoulderboards are actually quite hard to come by and can easily be graded 'scarce'. Simply a very attractive shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: 'Leutnant eines Panzerjäger-Abteilungs'!
