Truly used pair of WH (Luftwaffe) NCO-type shoulderboards as intended for a medium-ranked, administrative-official (ie. NCO) having the rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (ie.: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes')

The neat - fully matching and actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Luftwaffe) related shoulderboard-pair - which was intended for usage by a medium-ranked NCO having the comparable rank of an: 'Oberfeldwebel' (or: sergeant first-class) - is constructed from the specific, greenish-coloured- and/or: smooth-like- (ie. moleskin-type-) wool and does have the (typical-) bluish-grey- and/or: silver-coloured (twisted) upperdecks as per regulation as can be seen on the pictures. The boards - which were clearly used and/or worn - have four (identical, smaller-sized and zinc-based) pips period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebels-Rang'. The boards also show the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured so-called: 'Zwischenfarbe' (or: secondary branchcolour) attached, denoting the soldiers- (ie. NCOs) specific function- and/or tasking. The boards came mounted onto their functional (and later- albeit most certainly period-attached!) tongues attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). This particular shoulderboard-pair originated from a private household in Germany and was never before part of a collection: the boards were clearly used- and/or worn and do show some moderate age, wear and/or staining. It should be noted that these Luftwaffe-related, NCO-type shoulderboards as were intended for medium-ranked administrative-officials (ie. 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebelsrang') can easily be graded: 'fairly scarce'. I deem that this attractive pair is accordingly priced!
