Attractive - and fully matching! - WH (Heeres) pre- (ie. early-) war-period- (ie. 'M36/M40'-pattern) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps as intended for usage by a medical-orderly ie. an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Sanitäts-Abtlgs. o. Rgts.'

This is a truly attractive - and/or fully matching! - pair of (I deem) typical 'tailor-made', WH (Heeres) NCO- (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern) shoulderstraps as piped in the darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by a senior NCO (ie. 'Oberfeldwebel eines Sanitäts-Abteilungs o. Regiments' (ie. sergeant first-class or medical orderly) who served within an army medical-unit and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The neat straps are just moderately used and/or worn and do show both some minimal wear, age and/or staining but are void of any damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which are constructed from so-called: 'boiled wool' and that (I deem) originate from a private tailor-shop - show the desirable darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached and measure approximately 11,2 cms. in length each. The pieces show the 'standard'-pattern, (very bright) silver-coloured, NCO-braid period-attached and never had any tongues attached: they were intended and used as pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair shows a neat pair of (fully identical, larger-sized and/or: typical 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'Aesculapus'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and two pairs of equally styled, regular-sized pips period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (or: sergeant first-class and/or senior-medical orderly). Of additional interest is moreover the fact that these cyphers and pips were attached BEFORE the pair was assembled. These type of shoulderstraps are of the typical (early- ie. pre-) war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1940/1941 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). This neat pair originated from a smaller cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Sanitäter'-related NCO-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Sanitäts-Abteilungs o. Regiments' and that is with certainty accordingly priced!
