Superb, pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M36-/M40'-pattern-) 'cyphered', 'summer-type'-shoulderstraps (being of the model for usage onto the 'Windjacke') as was intended for a: 'Feldwebel u. Offz.-Anwärter eines Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons'

This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and just moderately used but nevertheless truly rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres) early-war-period, so-called: 'M36-/M40'-pattern-, NCO-'summer-type'-shoulderstraps (being of the model as specifically intended for the 'Gebirgsjäger-Windjacke') as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Offiziers-Anwärter eines Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons' (or: sergeant and officers'-candidate who served within and army mountain-troops-related, engineers'-battailon) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 13,2 cms. in length as to be expected - have the 'standard-type'- and/or greenish-tan-coloured, linnen-based 'upperdecks'. They show they bright-silver-toned, NCO-braid attached and do show a pair of (matching, larger-sized, bright-silver-coloured and/or aluminium-based) pips, period-attached: the pair once had machine-embroidered '8'- and '2'-numerals but these were period-removed as per regulation (as can be noticed on the pictures). The straps show the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured- and desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached and do show some moderate age and wear (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which come mounted onto their functional tongues - show as stated above moderate usage and/or wear (some staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-pattern, WH (Heeres) shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'fairly rare' even more so when they are specifically produced for usage onto the specific 'Gebirgsjäger'-type, protective '3/4-model' jacket ie. rain-coat (or: 'Gebirgsjäger-Windjacke'). This neat pair originates from an older 'Gebirgjäger'-related shoulderstrap ie. board-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply a very attractive and/or: early-war-period, neatly 'cyphered' and/or 'Heeres'-related NCO-type 'Windjacke'-shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Offiziers-Anwärter eines Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons'!
