Pair of WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards: 'Major u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin'

This is a very attractive - fully matching and truly rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the white- ('weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by a: 'Major u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin' (or: major who served within the famous guard-batallion based in the town Berlin) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The boards - which measure approximately 11 cms. in length each and that have somewhat 'sub-dued', silver-coloured 'upperdecks' - are just moderately used and do show some minor wear, age and/or minimal staining. The boards never any tongues attached and were with certainty worn as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the neat (Gothic-styled, regular-sized, bright golden-toned and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based-) so-called: 'W'-'cyphers' (ie. 'Ziffern') period-attached, denoting the officers'-rank of: 'Major'. Both devices are executed in 'Buntmetall'-based-metal and show some minimal age ie. tarnish: they have, however, maintained a neat and somewhat 'frosted' appearance (of additional interest is moreover the fact that both 'cyphers' were attached BEFORE the boards were fully assembled!). Simply a very attractive, 'cyphered', 'Infanterie'-related officers'-type shoulderboard-pair that once belonged to a: 'Major u. Mitglied des Wachbatallions Berlin': I deem that I have priced this superb pair according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
