Fully matching, 4-pieced insignia-grouping comprising of a pair of WH (LW) officers'-type shoulderboards and dito collar-tabs as was intended for usage by a: 'Leutnant u. Mitglied des 26. Flakdivisions'

The attractive - fully matching and carefully tunic-removed! - 4-pieced insignia-set was with certainty always together and was recently found together as such. The neatly cyphered shoulderboards - which are constructed from the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or: 'smooth-type' (ie. moleskin-like-) wool - come in an excellent condition overall and are truly hard to be upgraded. The set has somewhat shiny, bright silver-coloured 'upperdecks' as to be expected for a true LW-pair. The boards are just a bit 'tarnished' ie. stained by normal age. The boards - which measure approximately 11,5 cms. in length each - show two matching sets of (bright-golden-toned- and smaller-sized) '2'- and '6'-numerals (ie. 'cyphers') period-attached, denoting the junior officers'-rank of: 'Leutnant' (ie. lieutnant). The boards never had any tongues and were clearly used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards came with an equally nicely preserved (and also minimally worn- ie. also once tunic-attached) pair of neatly hand-embroidered, officers'-type collar-patches (ie. 'Kragenspiegel für Offiziere der Luftwaffe') which are also piped in the bright-red-coloured branchcolour. The silver-toned hand-embroidery - which is executed on a bright-red-coloured- and/or typical 'smooth woolen'-based background as to be expected - shows some truly minimal staining and/or storage-age (as can be seen on the pictures). The set is neatly 'backed' with beige-coloured, buckram-based material as is more often encountered. This interesting 4-pieced, LW insignia-grouping belonged to a: 'Leutnant u. Mitglied des 26. Flakdivisions' who was issued this set, used it and then stored it as such for decades. Simply an attractive 'Flak-Artillerie'-related insignia-grouping that will be very hard to be upgraded!
