Superb - fully matching and truly rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for an: 'Oberleutnant der (schwere) Panzerjäger-Abteilungs 512'
This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and/or with certainty truly rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), neatly 'cyphered' officers'-type shoulderboards (showing two matching pairs of theregular-sized- and bright-golden-toned so-called: '5'-, '1'- and/or '2'-cyphers period-attached!) as executed in the bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for an: 'Oberleutnant der (schwere) Panzerjäger-Abteilungs 512' (or: lieutnant first-class who served within the later-war-period and tank-destroyer-related Panzer-unit, numbered: '512' which unit was equipped with tanks of the famous 'Jagdtiger'-type!) and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem clearly issued- albeit hardly used- and/or worn-), condition. The very attractive boards - which are executed in the typical, 'smooth'-like- (and/or bright-pink-coloured) wool (aka 'moleskin'-wool) - measure approximately 11,7 cms. in length each and have silver-greyish-coloured- (ie. truly sub-dued-) 'upperdecks': I deem that as such they were intended for usage on a 'regular front-used' tunic or black-coloured, Panzer-'wrap-around'-tunic. The boards come mounted onto their period tongues attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Both boards show a pair of (larger- ie. regular-sized, matching and neatly bright-golden-toned- and I deem 'Buntmetall'-based-) so-called: '5'-, '1'- and/or '2'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and a pair of (equally styled) pips period-attached: all eight devices are minimally tarnished and/or stained but are still nice and/or pronounced: of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that these devices were attached BEFORE the boards were fully assembled (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be noted that these boards could be worn on a regular, field-grey tunic but could also be worn on the specific, black-coloured 'Panzer'-type 'wrap-around'-tunics. This particular pair originated from a larger cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive - and truly rarely seen! - officers'-type, 'cyphered' shoulderboard-pair that belonged to an: an: 'Oberleutnant der (schwere) Panzerjäger-Abteilungs 512'!
