Very unusual - fully matching and just moderately worn! - pair of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberst des Artillerie-Regiments 6'

This is an attractive - very unusual, fully matching and with certainty very rarely encountered! - pair of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by a high-ranked officer ie.: 'Oberst des Artillerie-Regiments 6' (or: full colonel of the artillery-troops who served within the regiment, numbered: '6') and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem moderately used- ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderboards - which are actually not that easily encountered and can easily be graded 'fairly rare' - are constructed in the smooth-type (ie. 'moleskin'-like) wool and are piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour (denoting an: 'Artillerie'-background of the officer who wore these). The boards - which have a length of approximately 9,2 cms. each - come mounted onto their functional (and unusually leather-based!) tongues (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards have the 'silverish-grey'-coloured (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued'-) 'upperdecks' (something that - I deem - clearly identifies them as 'front-used' pair). The boards show some minimal age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). This pair shows a (fully matching, larger-sized- and/or bright-golden-toned) set of: '6'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and four (also equally styled- and larger-sized) pips, period-attached: all six devices show some minimal tarnish ie. wear but are simply very nicely preserved. The neat pair does just show some age, wear and/or staining but is void of any damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). I deem that this pair was a (one-off) and unique produced pair that was constructed by a tailor-shop: the straps can be fitted onto a tunic by means of metal-based snaps (something that I have never seen before). Simply a very attractive - and most certainly desirable! - WH high-ranked, officers'-pattern shoulderboard-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberst der Artillerie u. Mitglied der Kriegsschule Hannover': only the first such unusual shoulderboard-pair I ever had on offer!
