Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern, neat 'cyphered' shoulderstraps as piped in the bright-orange-coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant u. Feldingenieur des Heeres'

This is an attractive - neatly 'cyphered' and actually truly scarcely found! - pair of WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern shoulderboards as piped in the bright-orange-coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: an: 'Oberleutnant u. Feldingenieur des Heeres' (ie. lieutnant first-class and field-engineer) and that comes in a overall very nice- (and I deem hardly used- nor worn-), condition. The boards are typical, 'text-book'-examples of the 'Heeres'-type shoulderboards and have the silverish-grey- (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued'-type-) 'upperdecks': they were with certainty issued and/or worn as such and do show some minimal age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the desirable bright-orange- (ie. 'hell orange-roter'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the 'smooth-type' wool as can be noticed on the pictures). The boards never had any tongues attached and were most certainly intended as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 11,5 cms. in length each and show a matching pair of (larger-sized and/or typical 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'Zahrad'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and two (neatly golden-toned, medium-sized- and/or also 'Buntmetall'-based) pips period-attached denoting the officers'-rank of an: 'Obertleutnant' (ie. lieutnant first-class). All four devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished but have preserved a fine and fairly bright- (albeit minimally darkened) age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). Taking into account, the fact that this pair has the somewhat 'sub-dued'-type 'upperdecks' I deem that it was a pair that was intended to be used on a regular (front-worn) tunic. Simply a very attractive - and neatly 'cyphered'! - WH (Heeres) shoulderboard-pair that belonged an: 'Oberleutnant u. Feldingenieur des Heeres'!
