Neat - and fully matching! - WH (Heeres) pre- (ie. early-) war-period- (ie. 'M36/M40'-pattern) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps as intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Offz.-Anwärter eines Sanitäts-Abtlgs. o. Rgts.'
This is an attractive - and fully matching! - pair of (I deem) typical 'tailor-made', WH (Heeres) NCO- (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern) shoulderstraps as piped in the darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an NCO (ie. 'Feldwebel u. Offziers-Anwärter eines Sanitäts-Abteilungs o. Regiments' ie. sergeant or medical orderly and officers'-candidate) who served within an army medical-unit and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The neat straps are just moderately used and/or worn and do show both some minimal wear, age and/or staining but are void of any damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which are constructed from so-called: 'boiled wool' and that (I deem) originate from a private tailor-shop - show the desirable darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached and measure approximately 10,5 cms. in length each. The pieces show the 'standard'-pattern, (bright) silver-coloured, NCO-braid period-attached and come naturally mounted onto their functional (regular-shaped) tongues attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair shows a neat pair of (identical, smaller-sized and/or: typical aluminium-based) so-called: 'Aesculapus'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and a pair of equally styled, smaller-sized pips period-attached denoting the NCOs rank of: 'Feldwebel' (or: sergeant and/or senior-medical orderly). Next to this it shows a pair of (double) 'Laschen' attached (both constructed from silver-toned NCO-braid) denoting that the NCO who wore this pair was an officers'-candidate or: 'Offziers-Anwärter'. These type of shoulderstraps are of the typical (early- ie. pre-) war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1940/1941 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). The pair came with a set of (silver-toned, pebbled-style) tunic-buttons which were firmly attached by means of typical rings (as can be seen on the pictures). This neat pair originated from a smaller cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Sanitäter'-related NCO-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to a: 'Feldwebel u. Offziers-Anwärter eines Sanitäts-Abteilungs o. Regiments' and that is with certainty accordingly priced!
