Single, early-period (ie. 'M36- o. M40'-pattern and pointed-styled), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for an: 'Uffz. des Pionier-Batls. 59'

This is a very attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless truly scarcely found! - example of an early-period (ie. 'M36- o. M40'-pattern and/or typically 'pointed'-styled) WH (Heeres) neatly 'cyphered' (and/or per regulation non-piped ie. generic-styled!) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier des Pionier-Bataillons 59' (or: NCO and engineer-soldier who served within the enigineer battailon, numbered: '59') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat strap - which is executed in the darker-green-coloured wool - is naturally void of any piping (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap - that shows the standard-issue, silver-toned NCO-braid attached - measures approximately 11,2 cms. in length and comes with its (functional) tongue attached. The strap shows the neat so-called: '5'- and/or: '9'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') which are both neatly machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' (as can be seen on the pictures). Both 'cyphers' are executed in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured coloured wool ie. linnen (and are neatly additionally piped in white!) as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap shows as stated above only moderate usage and wear (just some minimal age, dust and/or staining is visible and/or present). It should be noted that ALL 'cyphered', NCO-pattern, 'Pioniere'-type shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'scarce'. In any case a very attractive and/or: early-war-period, 'Pioniere'-related, NCO-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier des Pionier-Bataillons 59': too bad that it is only a single specimen!
