Neat - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Luftwaffe) NCO-type shoulderboards as was intended for a medium-ranked, administrative-official (ie. NCO) having the rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (ie.: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes')
The neat - clearly worn and fully matching! - LW-related shoulderboard-pair - which was intended for usage by a medium-ranked NCO having the comparable rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (or: sergeant first-class) - is constructed from the specific, greenish-coloured- and/or: smooth-like- (ie. moleskin-type-) wool and does have the (typical) bluish-grey- and/or: silver-coloured (twisted) 'upperdecks' as per regulation (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards - which do show moderate age and wear - show two (identical- and or zinc-based) pips period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebels-Rang'. The boards also shows the bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured 'Zwischenfarbe' (or: secondary branchcolour) attached, denoting the soldiers- (ie. NCOs) specific function- and/or tasking. The boards never had tongues attached and were with certainty intended to be used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern and do both show some age and/or staining caused by fair wear and decades of storage). It should be noted that these Luftwaffe-related, NCO-type shoulderboards as were intended for medium-ranked administrative-officials ie. 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebelsrang' can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that I have priced this attractive pair accordingly!
