WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', officers'-type shoulderboards (mounted onto its 'Auf der Steg'-mounting!): 'Oberleutnant u. Waffenoffizier'

The truly attractive - and actually quite scarcely found! - WH (Heeres) shoulderboards are typical, 'text-book'-examples of the Heeres-pattern, officers'-type shoulderboards as was specifically intended for usage by a junior-officer holding the rank ie. function of an: 'Oberleutnant u. Waffenoffizier' (or: lieutnant first-class and weapon-equipment officer) and have the bright-silver toned (ie. somewhat 'shiny') 'upperdecks': they were with certainty issued and worn as such and do just show some moderate age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The boards show the desirable bright-orange- (ie. 'orangeroter'-) coloured branchcolour (and were constructed from the 'smooth-type' wool as to be expected). The shoulderboards - that measure approx. 11 cms. in length - come mounted onto their seldomly seen 'Auf der Steg'-set-up (ie. mounting) and were most likely used onto a white-coloured- (or: summer-type-) tunic or dress-tunic (ie. 'Waffenrock'). The boards show the bright-orange- (ie. 'orangeroter'-) coloured branchcolour (and are constructed from the typical smooth- ie. 'moleskin'-type wool). The boards show a matching pair of (just minimally tarnished, bright-golden-toned, 'Buntmetall'-based, somewhat smaller-sized- and/or fully identical) 'crossed-canon'- (ie. 'gekreuzte Kanonenrohre') 'cyphers' (ie. 'Ziffern') and a matching pair of (larger-sized, golden-toned and equally somewhat tarnished) pips period-attached denoting the rank of: 'Oberleutnant' (ie. lieutnant first-class). All four devices are just minimally stained- ie. tarnished (as can be seen on the pictures). It should also be mentioned that these officers'-pattern, 'Waffenoffizier'-related shoulderboards are actually quite hard to come by and can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'. Simply a very attractive WH (Heeres) shoulderboard-pair that belonged an: 'Oberleutnant u. Waffenoffizier' (or: weapon-equipment officer)!
