WWII GERMAN LW TROPICAL NCO BOARDS RARE
This is a very nice and fully matching rarely encountered pair of 'DAK' (Luftwaffe) NCO-type, 'tropical' shoulderstraps, piped in the golden-yellow colored branchcolor, as intended for a Feldwebel eines Flieger-/Fallschirmjäger-Regiments' (or sergeant within a pilot- ie. paratrooper-regiment), in overall very nice, albeit moderately used ie. worn, condition. The shoulderboards - both have the typical brownish-yellow- (ie. tropical-) colored and/or linnen-based, 'upperdecks' and have the neat and desirable silk-like type piping. The set comes on its functional tongues and comes as most certainly unworn and stored for decades. The set has the neat 'tropical'-type, (chocolate-)brownish-coloured- (ie. sub-dued-) type (Luftwaffe) NCO-braid and 'Feldwebel' (or sergeant). The pair - which is as stated fully matching was always together. Simply a very nice - and very desirable! - fully 'text-book' Luftwaffe NCO-type, tropical shoulderboard-pair that belonged to a: 'Feldwebel eines Flieger-/Fallschirmjäger-Regiments'
WWII LW BEAMTER SHOULDER BOARDS
They are for a Beamter des mittleren Dienstes [= Official of the medium-level career], Gradgruppe [= Grade group] 9b, rank equivalent to Oberfeldwebel. The boards have the double colored underlay used by officials; the dark green Waffenfarbe [= branch color] identified officials in general, the Nebenfarbe [= secondary color] the relevant Fachrichtung [= specialization]. This is what i found out about them.
