Single, early-period (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern and/or pointed-styled), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', EM-type shoulderstrap as was intended for a: 'Soldat u. Mitglied eines Artillerie-Lehr-Rgts.'

This is a truly attractive - very desirable albeit regrettably single but nevertheless quite rarely found! - example of an early-period (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern and/or pointed-styled and as per regulation non-piped), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstrap as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Soldat u. Mitglied eines Artillerie-Lehr-Regiments' (or: private and artillery-soldier who served within a specific training- ie. schooling-unit) 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 as to be expected - is void of any piping and is of the generic-pattern as per regulation. The neat strap measures approximately 10,2 cms. in length and never had any tongue attached: it was a strap of the 'sew-in'-pattern that was carefully 'cut-of a tunic' (as can be noticed on the pictures). It shows the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei'), Gothic-styled: 'L'-cypher (or: 'Ziffer') attached (which is executed in the bright-red- ie. 'hochroter'-coloured wool ie. linnen as to be expected). The strap - which is of the typical 'standard-issued'-pattern - shows as stated above only minimal usage and wear (just some minimal age, dust and/or staining is visible and/or present). It should be noted that ALL 'cyphered', enlisted-mens'-pattern, 'Artillerie-Lehr'-type shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'quite rare' and come not that often for sale. In any case a very attractive and early-war-period, 'Heeres-Artillerie-Lehr'-related, EM-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat u. Mitglied eines Artillerie-Lehr-Regiments': too bad that it is only a single specimen!
