Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') officers'-type shoulderboards (of the 2nd pattern) as intended for a medium-ranked RAD-officer ie. 'Oberfeldmeister' (o. 'mittlere Führer')

The attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - RAD- (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') officers'-type shoulderboard-pair (ie. 'Schulterstücksatz für mittlere Führer des Reichsarbeitsdienstes') was intended for usage by a medium-ranked, RAD-officer (ie. 'Oberfeldmeister') comparable with the rank of: 'Oberleutnant' ie. lieutnant first-class and that comes in a just moderately used- and/or carfeully tunic-removed-, conditon. The pair on offer here is of the second-pattern type (as was used between the years 1936 and 1941) and is constructed from the specific, black-coloured- and/or: typical 'velvet-type' wool (and having the silverish-grey-toned 'upperdecks'). The pair is constructed from (somewhat sub-dued) silver-toned 'braid' that shows the interwoven 'V'-signs as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The attractive shoulderboards - which never had any tongues attached and that were intended and used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern - show a single ('Buntmetall'-based and/or regular-sized) pip each and were once tunic-attached and/or carefully removed: they just show some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by decades of storage and minimal wear (as can be seen on the pictures). This pair originated from a smaller RAD-related insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. It should be noted that these RAD-related, officers'-type shoulderboard-sets as were intended for a RAD-official ie.: 'RAD-Führer des mittlerer Dienstes' can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that this attractive pair is accordingly priced!
