Attractive - fully matching and scarcely encountered! - pair of WH (Luftwaffe) NCO-type shoulderboards as was intended for a medium-ranked, administrative-official (ie. NCO) having the rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (ie.: 'Beambter des mittleren Dienstes')

The attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - shoulderboard-pair - which was intended for usage by a medium-ranked, Luftwaffe-related NCO having the comparable rank of: '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 are (I deem) only minimally used show four (identical- and typical zinc-based-) pips period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Beambter der Luftwaffe des mittleren Dienstes im Oberfeldwebels-rang'. The boards also show the bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured 'Zwischenfarbe' (or: secondary branchcolour) attached, denoting the soldiers- ie. NCOs specific function- and/or tasking. The boards never had any tongues attached and were clearly intended (and used) as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern. The shoulderboard-pair originated from a private household in Germany and was never before in collectors-hands: they do show some truly minimal age and/or staining caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage. 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!
