Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as piped in the bright-red- ie. 'hochroter'-coloured branchcolour as intended for an: 'Oberleutnant der (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen'

The shoulderboards are typical, 'text-book'-examples of the Heeres-pattern, officers'-type shoulderboards and have the greyish-silver toned (ie. somewhat 'sub-dued') 'upperdecks': they were with certainty issued and worn as such and do show some moderate age, wear (ie. slight-moth-damage) and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the desirable bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the 'smooth-type' wool as to be expected). The boards come mounted onto their (typical) smaller-sized, officers'-type tongues (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards measure approximately 10 cms. in length each and show a matching set of (minimally tarnished, golden-toned and equally somewhat tarnished) pips period-attached denoting the rank of: 'Oberleutnant' (ie. lieutnant first-class). Taking into account, the fact that this pair has the somewhat 'sub-dued'-type 'upperdecks' I deem that it was a pair that was with certainty intended to be used on a regular, front-used tunic. This neat pair originated from a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive WH (Heeres) shoulderboard-pair that belonged an: 'Oberleutnant der (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen'!
