C-030 Set of Sew-In Shoulder Boards for an Army
Pioneer Hauptmann (Captain) with Unit Ciphers 4 Salty
A somewhat worn set - but for those who like that real combat
use-look, theyre perfect! Both shoulder boards came off of the same
uniform the degree of wear is a perfect match. The boards are in semi-matte
aluminum braid, with some surface wear. Heavy soiling, and on one in particular,
a darkening that may have been caused by blood from a neck wound. The black
underlay is the branch color of Pioneer Troops (Pioniere). Each board has two
nicely toned gilt pips for the rank of Hauptmann. Between the pips is the gilt
numeral cipher 4 this identifying Pioneer Battalion 4 (in May 1941
re-named Panzer Pioneer Battalion 4), which served in the Polish Campaign, the
French campaign and in Russia (including the Crimea). It served at one point
under the 13th Panzer Division and saw action through 1945. Very interesting
boards great branch color, intriguing combat staining. Very cool!
