Superb - fully matching and actually not that often seen! - WH (Heeres) EM-type (ie. 'M36-/M40'-pattern- and 'rounded styled-') 'cyphered' shoulderstrap-pair as was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Regiments 78'

This is a very attractive - fully matching and actually not that often seen! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, so-called: 'M36-/M40'-pattern- (rounded-styled) neatly 'cyphered'- and white- (ie. 'weisser'-) piped, enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as was specifically intended for a: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Regiments 78' (or: simple soldier who served within the army infantry unit ie. regiment numbered: '78') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem surely issued- albeit simply never used nor worn-), condition. The shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 13 cms. sized in length each - have the 'standard-type'- and/or darker-green-coloured, smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks' and show the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured and/or woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Both straps shows the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei'-) so-called: '7'- and '8'-cyphers ie. numerals (which 'cyphers' are executed in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured wool ie. linnen as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which never had any tongues attached and that were clearly intended to be used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern - show as stated above hardly any wear: just some storage-age ie. minimal staining is visible. It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-pattern shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'fairly scarce'. Simply an attractive and/or: early-war-period, neatly 'cyphered' and/or 'Heeres'-related EM-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Regiments 78'!
