Pair of WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' EM-type shoulderstraps: 'Soldat des Pionier-Rgts. 55'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually truly scarcely found! - pair of WH (Heeres), early-war-period ie. 'M40'-pattern (rounded-styled- and neatly 'cyphered') enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as was piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Pionier-Regiments 55' (or: simple soldier who served within the army-engineers-regiment, numbered: '55') and that comes in overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The neat straps - which are both approximately 13 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-pattern' and/or: dark-green-coloured- and (smooth)woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have the (woolen-based), black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour attached. Both straps show the neat, black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured and neatly machine-embroidered: double '5'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') which are executed in so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' as to be expected. The pair never had any tongues attached (it was clearly intended - and used! - as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern) and does just show some minimal age-, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this pair once had different machine-stitched cyphers: these were carefully removed where after the double '5'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') were stiched. Simply a neat - and I deem quite early- (ie. pre- or early-war-) period - 'Heeres' EM-type, shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to a: 'Soldat des Pionier-Regiments 55': I deem that I have priced this attractive - and with certainty desirable! - pair, accordingly!
