Neat - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres), early-war period- (ie. 'M36'-pattern- and rounded-styled) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for - and clearly used by! - a: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Schule'
This is an attractive - fully matching and with certainty scarcely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early-war period- (ie. 'M36'-pattern-, rounded styled-) and/or neatly 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the desirable black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and with certainty worn by! - a: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Schule' (or: sergeant and presumably instructor who served within one of the army engineer-schools) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstraps - which are approximately 11,4 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-type'- and/or: darker-green-coloured- and smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have (as to be expected) the black- (ie. 'schwarzer') coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which came mounted onto their functional tongues attached - show as stated above only minimal usage and/or wear (some minor wear, staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). The straps show the (standard-pattern) silver-coloured (ie. somewhat shiny) NCO-braid attached and show a matching pair of silver-toned- (larger-sized- and/or: aluminium-based) so-called: 'S'-'cyphers' (ie. 'Ziffern') and a pair of (also regular-sized- and also aluminium-based) pips, period-attached. It should be noted that ALL NCO-pattern, 'Pioniere'-type shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'scarce' (even more so when they are neatly 'cyphered' as this pair on offer). This particular pair - which is as stated above completely matching and that was most certainly worn as such as a pair - originated from an older cloth- and/or shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired. In any case a very attractive and/or: early- (ie. pre-) war-period, 'Heeres-Pioniere'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Schule'!
