Clearly used - and fully matching! - WH (Heeres), 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboard-pair (that comes mounted on its unsually seen: 'Auf der Steg'-mounting) as was intended for an: 'Oberst des Infanterie-Regiments 5'

This is a neat - clearly used- and or worn but fully matching! - WH (Heeres), high-ranked and neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboard-pair (that comes mounted on its unsually seen: 'Auf der Steg'-mounting!) and that is piped in the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Oberst des Infanterie-Regiments 5' (or: army full-colonel who served within the infantry regiment, numbered: '5') and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem clearly used ie. worn- and/or tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards come mounted on their seldomly seen 'Auf der Steg'-set-up ie. mounting and where most likely used onto a white-coloured- (or: summer-type-) tunic. They are truly 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type 'Infanterie'-shoulderboards and have the silverish-black- (ie. very tarnished-) 'upperdecks'. The boards show the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour (and are constructed from the smooth- ie. 'moleskin'-type wool). The boards show each two (smaller-sized, golden-toned- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based- albeit minimally tarnished) pips and dito (older-styled) '5'-numeral (ie. cypher or 'Ziffer') period-attached, denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Oberst'. The boards measure approximately 10,3 cms. in length each. The pair was most certainly used and/or worn as such and does show clear age, wear and/or staining. Simply a neat - and comparatively scarcely encountered! - fairly high-ranked, officers'-type, 'Infanterie'-related shoulderboard-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberst des Infanterie-Regiments 5'!
