Single, later-war-period, 'cyphered' WH (Heeres) officers-type shoulderboard: 'Oberleutnant des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst'

This is a neat - typical later-war-period - example of a neatly 'cyphered' ,WH (Heeres) officers-type shoulderboard (ie. 'Schulterstück für Offiziere des Heeres') as was intended for an administratve- (ie. 'Verwaltungs'-related-) officer ie.: 'Oberleutnant des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst' (being of a rank comparable with a: lieutnant-first-class rank) and that comes in an overall nice- (clearly issued- and/or worn-), condition. The board - which has an approximate length of 10,2 cms. - is executed in the 'smooth'-like- and/or (typical) bright-blue- (ie. 'hellblauer'-) coloured wool (aka 'moleskin'-wool) as was specifically intended for the later-war-period, administrative- (ie. 'Verwaltung'-) officials. The board - which was worn on the 'standard'-type, field-grey-coloured 'Heeres'-tunics - shows a neat (zinc-based- and/or bright-golden-toned) so-called: 'Merkurstab'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and single pip period-attached denoting the junior officers'-rank of an: 'Oberleutnant'. The shoulderboard came mounted onto its functional (smaller-sized- and braid-based) tongue attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The board is clearly used and does show some age, wear and/or staining. This neat (later-war-period) 'TSD'-related shoulderboard-pair (which was instituted as late as April 1944) was recently found at a private-household in Germany. Simply an attractive officers'-pattern shoulderboard that belonged to a: Heeres-related 'Oberleutnant des TSD o. Truppensonderdienst'!
