Pair of early- (ie. pre-) war-period, WH (Heeres) 'M36'- (ie. 'M40'-) pattern 'cyphered' (pointed-styled!) NCO-type shoulderstraps as intended for an: 'Uffz. u. Mitglied des Art.-Beo.-Abts. 7'

This is a very attractive - fully matching and as such actually scarcely encountered! - early- (ie. pre-war-) period, WH (Heeres), 'M36'- (ie. 'M40'-) type, pointed-styled and neatly 'cyphered' (and/or per regulation non-piped ie. generic-styled!)) NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier u. Mitglied des Art.-Beobachtungs-Abteilungs 7' (or: NCO ie. junior-sergeant who served within a specific, artillery-observers' unit, numbered: '7') and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly- ie. moderately used and/or worn- ie. carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps have the field-grey-coloured, woolen-based 'upperdecks' as to be expected and have (as per regulation) no piping attached: they are from the 'generic'-pattern (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps come mounted onto their functional tongues attached and measure 13 cms. in length each: they show the silver-toned (early- ie. dotted-pattern) NCO-braid attached. Both straps show a neat (Gothic-styled, larger-sized) so-called: 'B'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and equally-styled (smaller-sized) '7'-numeral period-attached (which Ziffern are excuted in bright-red-toned so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' as can be seen on the pictures). The straps show some minimal age and/or wear (some minor staining and/or dust is visible- ie. present). It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-type shoulderstraps can be easily regarded 'scarce'. This attractive pair was never in collectors'-hands and was recently found at a German private-household. Simply a very attractive and/or early- (ie. pre-) war period, 'cyphered Heeres'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair as was specifically intended for an: 'Unteroffizier u. Mitglied des Art.-Beobachtungs-Abteilungs 7': I deem that I have priced this very attractive and neatly 'cyphered' NCO-type pair, accordingly!
