Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of 'cyphered' WH (Heeres) 'M43'-pattern shoulderstraps as was intended for an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 245' and that comes as recently found
This is an attractive pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type- and neatly 'cyphered', so-called: 'M43'-pattern shoulderstraps as piped in the typical bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Unterwachtmeister o. Unteroffizier des Artillerie-Regiments 245' (or: junior NCO who served within the artillery-regiment, numbered: '245' being part of the 'Infanterie-Division 245') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used-, worn- and/or: most certainly carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The truly attractive straps - which are approximately 11,4 cms. sized in length each as more often encountered - have the 'standard-type'- and/or typical field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks' and show the neat bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type branchcolour ie. piping, attached. Next to this they show two (matching) pairs of silver-coloured- and zinc-based '2'-,'4'- and/or: '5'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') attached (something that was actually against regulations but that was more often seen). The straps were only moderately used- and/or worn and do show some moderate staining and/or age simply caused by moderate wear and/or decades of storage (as can be seen on the pictures). They come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues and have the neat 'standard'-type- and/or silver-coloured- (ie. somewhat sub-dued-pattern-) 'Heeres'-type NCO-braid attached, denoting the NCOs'-rank of: 'Unterwachtmeister o. Unteroffizier'. Simply an attractive shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 245'!
