Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards as (dual)piped in the white-coloured branchcolour as was intended for a: 'Hauptmann der Reserve des Infanterie-Regiments 78'

The attractive pair is neatly (dual)piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour and has the typical dove-grey-coloured 'underlay' and was intended for - and/or with certainty worn by! - a: 'Hauptmann der Reserve des Infanterie-Regiments 78' (or: reserve-captain who served within the 'Infanterie'- ie. infantry-regiment numbered: '78') and comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used-, worn- and/or: carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards are 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type, 'Infanterie'-shoulderboards and have the silver-coloured (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued'-pattern) 'upperdecks' (as can be noticed on the pictures). The boards show the desirable white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour and have the typical dove-grey-coloured 'underlay' (and were constructed from the typical 'smooth'-type wool as to be expected). The boards never had any tongues attached and were intended as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern and were clearly used as such (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 10 cms. in length each and were most certainly issued- and/or worn as such and do show moderate age, wear and/or staining as to be expected. The pair - that was recently found at a German private-household - shows two fully matching sets of (neatly bright-golden-toned, larger-sized, older styled and/or identical) '7'- and/or '8'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') attached and shows two matching pairs (of equally bright-golden-toned and larger-sized) pips, period-attached. All eight devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished but have preserved a fine and fairly bright- (and/or quite shiny!) age-patina. Simply a very attractive set that belonged to a: 'Hauptmann der Reserve des Infanterie-Regiments 78'!
