Pair of early-period- (ie. 'Reichswehr'-era- and/or 'pointed-styled'), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Rgts. 4'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually fairly rarely encountered! - pair of (I deem) early-period (ie. 'Reichswehr'-era and/or 'pointed-styled'), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps (being of the generic-pattern having no piping attached as per regulation) as executed in the neat field-grey-coloured-wool as was specifically intended for - and with certainty used by! - an: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Regiments 4' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the infantry-regiment, numbered: '4') and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The straps - which measure 11,5 cms. in length each - are fully 'text-book' in all facets and are executed in (typical 'Reichwehr'-era pattern!) wool and having no piping attached. The straps come naturally mounted onto their functional, tongues attached and do show the (greyish-blue-toned, 'dotted'-style) NCO-braid: moreover, do they show the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured '4'-cyphers (ie. numerals or: 'Ziffern') which are executed in so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). These type of (early) shoulderstraps are of the pre- ie. early-war-period pattern straps and were (I deem) worn in the period around 1935/1937 and were worn-out during the war. The pair only shows moderate wear and/or age and is just nicely preserved over the years (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and with certainty quite rarely encountered! - 'cyphered' shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Regiments 4' and that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
