Truly used - matching, moth-damaged but nevertheless rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early-war-period (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern styled-) EM-type shoulderstraps as intended for a: 'Soldat eines Inf.-Rgts. der “Grossdeutschland”-Div.'

This is a truly attractive - truly used- and/or worn, fully matching and regrettably somewhat moth-damaged but nevertheless still rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. eventually pre-) war-period (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern styled-), enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for a: 'Soldat eines Infanterie-Regiments der “Grossdeutschland”-Division' (or: infantry-soldier who with certainty served in an infantry-related unit within the “Grossdeutschland”-Division) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly ie. moderately used and/or worn-), condition. The neat and very desirable shoulderstraps - which have the 'standard'-pattern, darker-green-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'upperdecks' - have the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached. The straps - which measure approximately 12,2 cms. in length each - come mounted onto their functional tongues and come as stated above in an overall nice, ie. fully 'text-book'-condition, overall. The straps are a clear example of a 'standard-issued'-pattern pair and show the neat interwoven 'GD'-cyphers, which are executed in white-coloured, machine-embroidery (as per regulation). The straps show - as stated above - clear usage and/or wear (some moderate age, dust and/or staining is visible and/or present) and one of the straps is clearly somewhat moth-damaged (as can be clearly noticed in the pictures). Nevertheless is this a superb occasion to acquire an attractive and desirable, enlisted-mens'-type 'M36 o. M40'-pattern, 'Infanterie'-GD-shoulderstrap-pair: it has been some time that I could offer such a neat “GD“-shoulderstrap-pair!
