Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Luftwaffe) 'dual-piped', officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant der Reserve eines Flieger- o. Fallschirmjäger-Regiments'
The attractive pair is piped in the golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured branchcolour and has a secondary, typical blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour attached: as such, the pair was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant der Reserve eines Flieger- o. Fallschirm-regiments' (or: reserve-lieutnant first-class who served within a pilot- or paratroopers-regiment). The pair was most certainly used- and once tunic-attached but comes, nevertheless, in an overall very nice condition. The shoulderboards - which are constructed from the greyish-blue- (ie. 'grauer'-) coloured, 'smooth-type' (ie. moleskin-like-) wool - come in an excellent condition overall and will be hard to be upgraded (the pair is fully matching as can be seen on the pictures). The fairly 'shiny' appearance of the 'upperdecks' is fully present and/or preserved (something that is to be expected with a Luftwaffe-related shoulderboard-pair). The boards are just a tiny bit 'tarnished' by normal age and/or storage for decades (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards - which measure approximately 11,2 cms. in length each - show a matching pair of (golden-toned- and I deem 'Buntmetall'-based) pips period-attached denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Oberleutnant der Reserve' (ie. reserve-lieutnant first-class). This pair originated from a small lot of various LW-straps and/or boards that I recently acquired for the web-site: it should, moreover, be noted that all 'Reserve' LW-straps are hard to find. Simply a great occasion to acquire an attractive - and scarcely seen! - officers'-type, LW-shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for a: 'Leutnant der Reserve eines Flieger- o. Fallschirmjäger.-Regiments'!
