Moderately worn pair of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberleutnant der Infanterie-Trpn. u. Mitglied der Unteroffizierschule Deggendorf'
This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and with certainty rarely encountered! - pair of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by 'Oberleutnant der Infanterie-Truppen u. Mitglied der Unteroffizierschule Deggendorf' (or: infantry lieutnant first-class who served within the NCO-training-school as was based in the town of Dresden) and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem clearly used- ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderboards - which are actually not that easily encountered and can easily be graded 'fairly rare' - are constructed in the smooth-type (ie. 'moleskin'-like) wool and are piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour (denoting an: 'Infanterie'-background of the officer who wore this pair). The boards - which have a length of approximately 10,9 cms. each - never had any tongues and were clearly a pair that was worn as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern: both boards still show some stitching-holes ie. remains (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards have the 'silver-greyish'-coloured (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued'-) 'upperdecks' (something that - I deem - clearly identifies them as 'front-used' pair). The boards show some moderate age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards originate from a private-household in Germany and were never before part of a collection. This pair shows a (fully matching, larger-sized- and/or bright-golden-toned) set of Gothic-styled- so-called: 'KS'-cyphers (ie, 'Ziffern'), smaller-sized- and equally-styled 'D'-cyphers -numerals and two (also equally styled) pips, period-attached: all six devices show some minimal tarnish ie. wear but are simply very nicely preserved. The neat pair does just show some age, wear and/or staining but is void of any real damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and most certainly desirable! - WH officers'-pattern shoulderboard-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberleutnant der Infanterie-Trpn. u. Mitglied der Unteroffizierschule Deggendorf': only the first such rare officers'-type shoulderboard-pair I ever had on offer!
