Superb - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin'
This is a very attractive - and fully matching and truly rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the white- ('weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin' (or: lieutnant first-class who served within the famous guard-batallion based in the town Berlin) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used ie. worn-), condition. The boards - which measure approximately 10,4 cms. in length each and that have somewhat 'sub-dued', silver-coloured 'upperdecks' - are moderately used and do show some minor wear, age and/or minimal staining. The boards come mounted onto their (typical) smaller-sized officers'-type tongues and were with certainty worn as a pair (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the neat (Gothic-styled, regular-sized, bright golden-toned and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based-) so-called: 'W'-'cyphers' and one (similarly styled) pip each attached, denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Oberleutnant'. All four devices are executed in 'Buntmetall'-based-metal and show some minimal age ie. tarnish: they have, however, maintained a neat and somewhat 'frosted' appearance. Simply a very attractive, 'cyphered', 'Infanterie'-related officers'-type shoulderboard-pair that once belonged to an: 'Oberleutnant u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin': I deem that I have priced this superb pair according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
