Single, WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern 'cyphered' shoulderboard: 'Major einer Veterinär-Abtlgs.' (and that comes with its accompanying - also single-pieced - collar-tab as found)

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless not that easily found! - neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern shoulderboard as was intended for usage by a: 'Major einer Veterinär-Abteilungs' (or: major who served within or even commanded an army veterinarian-unit) and that comes with its accompanying (and also single-pieced) collar-tab as recently found, both pieces coming in an overall nice- (ie. clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The board - which is approximately 11,2 cms. sized in length as more often encountered - is piped in the neat darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured and/or: 'smooth'-type wool and came without tongue: it was clearly used as a board of the 'sew-in-type'. The board shows a regular-sized- (and darkened golden-coloured) so-called: veterinarian- (ie. snake-type-) cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') period-attached, denoting the officers-function of a: 'Major' and: 'Veterinär'. The board has the silverish-grey-coloured- and/or fairly sub-dued 'upperdeck' making it - I deem - a piece that was specifically intended for usage on a regular, officers-type army-tunic. It was with certainty carefuly tunic-removed and does show some stitching-remains. As stated above did this example came with an equally single, standard-pattern (and hand-embroidered) WH (Heeres) officers'-pattern collar-tab (ie. 'Kragenspiegel für Offiziere') that is also piped in the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour. It should, however, be noted that the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour is one of the more difficult to encounter branchcolours of the entire: 'Deutsche Wehrmacht'. This particular 2-pieced set originated from a larger cloth- ie. 'cyphered' shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Nevertheless a great occasion to acquire an attractive and/or desirable and fairly high-ranked WH officers'-pattern shoulderboard and collar-tab-set that was intended for usage by a: 'Major einer Veterinär-Abteilungs'!
