Neat - albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS officers'-pattern shoulderboard as piped in the bright-red-coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'SS-Obersturmführer' who served within the: 'Waffen-SS (Sturm)Artillerie-Trpn.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS officers'-type shoulderboard as piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'SS-Obersturmführer' (or lieutnant first-class) who served within the: 'Waffen-SS (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen' (or: artillery-troops) and that comes in overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderboard - which never had a tongue attached and that was clearly used as a board of the 'sew-in'-pattern - has a somewhat 'sub-dued'- (ie. greyish-silverish-coloured) 'upperdeck' and is executed in black-coloured wool as to be expected. It shows the desirable 'silke-like'-type, bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The board - which measures approximately 11 cms. in length - shows a single (golden-toned- albeit minimally tarnished) pip period-attached denoting the junior-officers'-rank of an: 'SS-Obersturmführer'. The board has most certainly been worn as such and does show some moderate age, usage and/or moderate staining. Simply an attractive Waffen-SS officers'-type shoulderboard that comes in a desirable branchcolour: I deem that I have priced this neat Waffen-SS-pattern, officers'-type 'Obersturmführer'-shoulderboard accordingly!
