Sligthly mis-matched pair of early- (ie. mid-) war-period so-called: 'M40 o. M43'-pattern, WH (Heeres) EM-type shoulderstraps as piped in the 'bordeaux'-coloured branchcolour as intended for a: 'Soldat eines (Nebel)Werfer-Rgts. o. Abtlgs.'

The truly attractive - fully 'text-book' albeit slightly mis-matched - pair of 'standard-issued'- (ie. 'non-privately-purchased'!) pattern, WH (Heeres) enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstrap-pair is piped in the desirable, neat darker-purple-red- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured branchcolour and measures approximately 11,5 cms. in length each. The straps have the desirable darker-purple-red- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured- and/or: desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached (as is more often encountered with these early- ie. mid-war-period shoulderstrap-pairs) and was as such intended for usage by a: 'Soldat eines (Nebel)Werfer-Regiments o. Abteilungs' (or: simple soldier who served within an army smoke-troops unit ie. regiment). The shoulderstraps are typical 'standard-issued'-examples that have the field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks': they were - I deem - just minimally used ie. worn and do show some truly minimal wear, age and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues and were with certainty used as a pair. These desirable 'M40- o. 43'-pattern, army 'Nebelwerfer'-related EM-type shoulderstraps as piped in the darker-purple-red- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured branchcolour can nowadays easily be graded 'rare'. Simply a very attractive - albeit minimally mis-matched - shoulderstrap-pair that belonged a: 'Soldat eines (Nebel)Werfer-Regiments o. Abteilungs' and that is I deem priced according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
