Single, WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M40'-pattern- and 'privately-purchased-') neatly 'cyphered' shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier u. Feldwebel-Anwärter u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abts. 34'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless quite scarcely found! - WH (Heeres) early- (ie. mid-) war-period, so-called: 'M40'-pattern- (and typically 'privately-purchased'!) neatly 'cyphered'- and golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) piped, NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier u. Feldwebel-Anwärter u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abteilungs 34' (or: junior-sergeant and sergeant-candidate who served with the army-cavalry- ie. reconnaissance-unit, numbered: '34') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstrap - which is approximately 10,5 cms. sized in length and that does show the darker-green-coloured- and/or (boiled) woolen-based 'upperdeck', rayon-type-type piping and 'standard'-pattern, silver-toned (ie. standard-issued) NCO-braid period-attached. Moreover, does it show a (smaller-sized and/or 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'A'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and a (smaller-sized and/or zinc-based) set of '3'- and/or '4'-cyphers ie. numerals (or: 'Ziffern') period-attached. All three devices are nicely preserved but do show some obvious age and/or wear. Next to this, does the strap show a double loop (ie. 'Lasche') attached denoting the NCOs-function of an: 'Unteroffizier u. Feldwebel-Anwärter' (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap - which came mounted onto its functional tongue - is in my opinion a privately-purchased piece and does show as stated above some moderate usage and/or wear (some minor staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-pattern, WH (Heeres) 'Aufklärungs'-related shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'fairly scarce'. This strap originates from an older shoulderstrap ie. board-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive and/or: early- (ie. mid-) war-period, neatly 'cyphered' and/or 'Heeres'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: an: 'Unteroffizier u. Feldwebel-Anwärter u. Mitglied des Kavallerie-Aufklärungs-Abteilungs 34'!
