Attractive - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres) officers'-type, 'cyphered' Pz-shoulderboard as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant der Panzer-Truppen' who served within the famous 'GrossDeutschland'-division
This is a very desirable - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless fairly scarcely seen! - WH (Heeres) officers'-type, 'cyphered' shoulderboard as piped in the bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroterer'-) coloured branchcolour and that is showing a rarely observed, regular-sized and/or tarnished golden-toned 'GD'-cypher (and dito pip) period-attached as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant der Panzer-Truppen' (ie. Panzer-lieutnant first-class) who served within the famous 'GrossDeutschland'-division and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderboard - which is piped in the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroterer'-) coloured branchcolour - is executed in the 'smooth-type'-wool and never had a tongue attached: it was clearly intended for usage as a board of the 'sew-in'-pattern. The board - which is approximately 11,6 cms. sized in length - has a greyish (ie. truly sub-dued) 'upperdeck' and shows the obvious signs of having been worn ie. having been once tunic-attached. As stated above, does the board show a non-magnetic, regular-sized and/or (tarnished) golden-toned, so-called: 'GD'-cypher (and regular-sized- and/or golden-toned) pip attached denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Oberleutnant' (ie. lieutnant first-class). The 'cypher' retains both its prongs and was attached to the board BEFORE it was fullly assembled (as can be seen on the back of the board). Both devices show a golden-toned- and clearly tarnished finish. This board was surely intended to be used on a regular, front-used tunic (ie. black-coloured Panzer 'wrap-around'-tunic). Simply a very attractive - and scarcely encountered! - 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboard that shows lots of character and that belonged to a Panzer-officer who served within a famous WH 'elite'-regiment: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
