C-957  RAD Enlisted Man’s Slip-On Shoulder Boards for an “Obervormann”, with Aluminum Twist Loops; Not Quite Matched
This pair of boards are not a matched set, being as they show some variation in the shade of each of the chocolate brown wool/felt facings, and the undersides are not made of the same material.  Each has the single rank pip for the rank of Obervormann, one with the finish faded and a little powdering, the other with the finish intact, though toned. Both are piped around their outer edges in twist aluminum cord. One board has two twisted aluminum strands that indicated a Volunteer RAD man (as opposed to mandatory duty), while the other has only one twist strand remaining. There is some light mothing to the board surfaces, but nothing really significant. Interesting pair!
