Pair of WH (Heeres) officers'-type, 'cyphered' shoulderboards: 'Hauptmann einer (Sturm)Art.-Abtlgs.' within the 'GD'-division

This is a truly attractive - and/or fully matching and with certainty rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) officers'-type and neatly 'cyphered' shoulderboard-pair (showing a rarely observed, regular-sized- and/or golden-bronze-toned 'GD'-cypher-pair attached) as was specifically intended for - and clearly used by! - a: 'Hauptmann einer (Sturm)Artillerie-Abteilungs' who served within the famous 'GrossDeutschland'-division and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or clearly tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderboards - which are piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour - are executed in the typical 'smooth'- (ie. moleskin-) type wool as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The shoulderboards measure approximately 10,7 cms. in length each and come mounted onto their typically thin-shaped, officers'-pattern tongues attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards - which have smooth-woolen-based 'backings' as to be expected - have fairly dull silver-coloured 'upperdecks' and were most certainly a pair that was intended for usage on a regular (ie. front-used-) tunic (they could, naturally also have been worn on a 'Sturmgeschütze'-type 'wrap-around' tunic). As stated above, show the boards a pair of (matching, magnetic, regular-sized- and/or neatly bronze-golden-toned- albeit somewhat tarnished) so-called: 'GD'-cyphers (ie. Ziffern) and four of (equally executed, non-matching and regular- ie. smaller-sized) pips period-attached denoting the officers'-rank of a: 'Hauptmann' (or: captain). Both cyphers retain their period prongs: one prong has been broken-off and the cypher has been period-fortified with some stitching (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair was clearly issued and worn as such (as can be deducted from the present condition). This pair originated from a larger cloth- ie. insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - neatly 'cyphered' officers'-type, 'GD'-shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: '(Sturm)Artillerie'-officer who served within a famous WH 'elite'-regiment!
