Pair of early- (ie. mid-) war-period so-called: 'M41 o. M43'-pattern, WH (Heeres) NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as intended for an: 'Uffz. der Pionier-Trpn.'

The attractive and just moderately worn - fully 'text-book' and in all respects matching! - pair of 'standard-issued'- (ie. 'non-privately-purchased'!) pattern, WH (Heeres) NCO-type shoulderstraps (I deem for usage onto the 'Mantel' or greatcoat) is piped in the desirable black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour and measures approximately 13 cms. in length each. The straps have the desirable black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured- and/or: typical (and 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 an: 'Unteroffizier der Pionier-Truppen' (or: junior-sergeant who served within an army-enigineers-unit). The neat shoulderstraps - that show the 'standard'-pattern, bluish-grey-toned (ie. 'sub-dued'-pattern) NCO-braid attached - are typical 'standard-issued'-examples that have the field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks': they were - I deem - just moderately used ie. worn and do show some minimal wear, age and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues (which show the inked numeral '10' as can be noticed on the pictures). These desirable 'M41- o. 43'-pattern, army-engineers-related NCO-type 'great-coat'-shoulderstraps as piped in the 'schwarzer'-coloured branchcolour can nowadays easily be graded 'fairly scarce'. Simply an attractive - and fully matching! - shoulderstrap-pair that belonged an: 'Unteroffizier der Pionier-Truppen'!
