Neat - and matching! - 4-pieced WH (Heeres) insignia-grouping comprising of a pair of 'M43'-pattern EM-shoulderstraps, a: breast-eagle and signal-'Blitz' as was intended for a: 'Soldat eines Artillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments'

This is an attractive - and fully matching - 4-pieced WH (Heeres) insignia-grouping comprising of respectively a (matching!) pair of 'M43'-pattern EM-shoulderstraps, a: 'M36'- (ie. 'M40'-) pattern breast-eagle (ie. 'Brustadler für Mannschaften u. Uffz.') and a: WH (Heeres) trade- and/or special-career-insignia (ie. hand-embroidered 'signal-blitz') all four insignia-pieces as was intended for a: 'Soldat eines Artillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments'. All four insignia were most certainly issued and probably worn: they were all four once glued into an album or scrapbook and do all four show some carton- ie. glue-remains on their backs (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair of WH (Heeres) enlisted-mens'-type, so-called: 'M43'-pattern shoulderstraps is piped in the typical bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and are approximately 11 cms. sized in length each as more often encountered. They 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 woolen-type branchcolour ie. piping, attached. 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). The pair comes without tongues and was presumably cut-of a tunic (as can be seen on the pictures). The WH (Heeres) early- ie. (pre-)war-period, white-coloured breast-eagle is of the so-called: 'M36'- (ie. 'M40'-) pattern (ie. 'Brustadler für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere') and is executed in the neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern on a darker-green-coloured background. It comes in an overall very nice (ie. never tunic-attached- albeit confectioned ie. pre-trimmed) condition. The trade- and/or special-career-insignia (ie. 'signal blitz') is executed in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for a 'signals-operator' (or: 'WH-Nachrichten Personal') ie. soldier serving within the: 'Artillerie-Truppen' (ie. artillery-troops). This neat insignia-grouping originated from a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands: it can naturally still excellently be used to complete or restore a WH (Heeres) tunic. Simply an attractive insignia-set that belonged to a: 'Soldat eines (Sturm)-Artillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments'!
