Attractive - fully matching and scarcely encountered! - pair of WH (Kriegsmarine) officers'-type shoulderboards (ie. 'Schulterstücke') as was intended for usage by a: 'Kommodore (Ingenieur') being a rank similar to: 'Oberst'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually scarcely encountered! - pair of WH (Kriegsmarine) neatly cyphered, officers'-type shoulderboards (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Offiziere der Kriegsmarine') as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Kommodore (Ingenieur') (being a rank similar to: 'Oberst') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just moderately used- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderboards - which 'upperdecks' are executed in bright-silver-coloured so-called: 'braid' - measure approx. 11,2 cms. in length each and show a white-coloured- and/or 'smooth'-woolen-based 'underground' as to be expected. The boards never had a tongue attached and were intended to be used on a (white-coloured) summer-tunic: the come mounted onto the neat 'Auf der Steg'-mounting (the set was with certainty once worn and was clearly tunic-removed - as can be seen on the pictures). The boards do both show a (golden-toned- and/or typical 'Buntmetall'-based) 'steering-wheel'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and two (equally-styled!) pips each period-attached and were thus intended for a (high-ranked!) officer holding the rank of: 'Kommodore (Ingenieur') which rank can be compared with an army 'Oberst' (or full colonel). The boards truly show extraordinary detail and are great example of the employed craftmenship used in the days. The pair is just a tiny bit tarnished ie. stained (simply caused by years of storage ie. moderate wear). The pair originates from a private-household in Germany and was never before part of any collection. Simply a very attractive - and/or truly detailed! - high-ranked WH (Kriegsmarine) officers'-type shoulderboard-pair: this is just the first such pair I ever had on offer!
