Superb - and/or fully matching! - pair of early- (ie. pre-war-) period WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' (pointed-styled), NCO-type ('M36'-pattern-) shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier des Wehrersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises XVII'
This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and actually rarely encountered! - pair of early- (ie. pre-war-) period- (ie. 'M36'-pattern- and/or pointed-styled), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps being of the generic-model without having any piping as was intended for - and most certainly worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier des Wehrersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises XVII' (or: army-NCO ie. junior-sergeant who was part of the recruitment-troops within the area of 'Wehrkreis XVII', being a larger area situated in occupied Austria and residing in both Wien and/or Linz) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit issued ie. moderately worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which do show some regular age ie. wear and/or minimal staining caused by moderate usage and/or wear - come as stated above in an overall very nice, albeit moderately used and/or worn condition but are void of any damage whatsoever. The straps are executed in the darker-green coloured- (and/or: smooth- ie. moleskin- type wool) and have of course no piping (they are of the generic, pointed-model). The shoulderstraps - which come mounted on their functional tongues attached - measure approximately 11,2 cms. in length each. The straps show the neat Roman-styled- and/or: machine-embroidered (Roman-styled) 'XVII'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') which are executed in bright-orange- ie. 'orangeroter'-coloured-) so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' as to be expected, denoting the NCOs rank ie. function of: 'Unteroffizier des Wehrersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises XVII'. The straps show the standard-type, silverish-grey-coloured NCO-braid attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Unteroffizier'. I deem that I have priced this very attractive 'Unteroffizier des Wehrersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises XVII'-shoulderstrap-pair according to its evident desirability and/or comparative rarity!
