Fully matching pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-) war-period 'M36'-pattern (ie. rounded-styled- and neatly 'cyphered') NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for an: 'Unteroffizier eines Wehrersatz-Dienstelle im Wehrkreis IX'

This is an attractive - and/or fully matching and actually not that easily found! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-) war-period so-called: 'M36'-pattern (ie. rounded-styled- and/or neatly 'cyphered') NCO-type shoulderstraps as was piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for an: 'Unteroffizier eines Wehrersatz-Dienstelle im Wehrkreis IX' (or: junior-sergeant who served within an infantry-related, army recruitment-unit that resided under the region ie. 'Wehrkreis', numbered: 'IX') and that comes in overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn- and/or: carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat straps - which are both approximately 12 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-pattern' and/or: dark-green-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have as stated above the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The shoulderstraps show the ('standard'- ie. later-war-pattern-) bluish-grey-coloured NCO-braid attached and show each the machine-embroidered, Latin-styled: 'W'-cypher and Roman-styled 'IX'-numeral (which are executed in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured wool- ie. fine-structured linnen as to be expected as can be seen on the pictures). The pair never had any tongues attached and was clearly intended for usage as a pair of the 'sew-in'-type. The 'Wehrkreis' numbered: 'IX' comprised of the region around Kassel and had its HQ also based in this town. The pair was I deem only moderately used and does show some age-, wear- and/or minimal staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive and only moderately used and/or worn, 'Heeres' NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Unteroffizier eines Wehrersatz-Dienstelle im Wehrkreis IX': I deem that I have priced this attractive and scarcely found pair accordingly!
