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-Rgts. 348'
The attractive pair is neatly (dual)piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour and has the typical dove-grey-coloured 'underlay' and was as such intended for a: 'Hauptmann der Reserve des Infanterie-Regiments 348' (or: reserve-captain who served within the infantry regiment numbered: '348') and comes in an overall very nice- (I deem just moderately used- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards are 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type, 'Infanterie'-shoulderboards and have the silverish-grey-coloured (ie. somewhat tarnished- ie. 'sub-dued'-pattern) 'upperdecks' (as can be noticed on the pictures). The boards show the desirable white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour (ie. 'Zwischenfarbe') 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 for - and moderately ie. clearly used! - as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 11 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 a fully matching set of (neatly bright-golden-toned, smaller-sized and/or identical) '3'-, '4'- and/or: '8'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') and four (equally-styled) pips period-attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). All ten devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished but have preserved a fine and fairly bright- (and/or quite shiny!) age-patina. Simply an attractive WH (Heeres) officers-pattern shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: 'Hauptmann der Reserve des Infanterie-Regiments 348'!
