Pair of WH (Luftwaffe) general-officers'-pattern shoulderboards: 'General der Flieger' (etc.)
This is a truly very attractive - and fully matching! - pair of (I deem somewhat later-war-period and I deem simply never worn!) WH (Luftwaffe) general-officers'-pattern shoulderboards (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Generale der Luftwaffe') as was intended for a general-officer holding the rank of: 'General der Flieger' (or other branch!) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. presumably issued- albeit simply never worn- nor used-), condition. The neat shoulderboards - which both show an 'upperdeck' that is executed in golden- and/or silver-coloured- (ie. I deem somewhat later-war-type) 'braid'-based material - measure approx. 10,5 cms. in length each and show a beige-white-coloured- and/or 'smooth'-woolen-based 'underground' as to be expected. The boards come mounted onto their smaller-sized tongues attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). The boards show two pairs of (bright silver-toned, typically somewhat larger-sized, 'Buntmetall'-based) pips attached and was thus a pair that was intended for a general-officer with the (high!) general-officers' rank of a: 'General der Flieger' (or other branch). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that the four pips where attached BEFORE the set was entirely assembled. The boards show truly extraordinary detail and are a great example of the employed craftmenship of the days. The pair is just a tiny bit tarnished ie. stained (simply caused by years of storage ie. moderate wear). The pair belonged to an (regrettably unidentified) airforce 'General' who kept and/or stored these neat insignia-pieces for decades. Simply a very attractive and/or truly detailed WH (Luftwaffe) general-officers'-type shoulderboard-pair that is with certainty priced according to its desirability and rarity!
