Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) 'M36- o. M40'-type'- and neatly 'cyphered' EM-type shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Wehr-Ersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises IX'

This is a very attractive - and/or fully matching! - pair of early- (ie. pre-war) period- (ie. 'M36- o. M40'-type'- and/or rounded styled) neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as piped in the bright-orange- (ie. 'orangeroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des des Wehr-Ersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises IX' (or simple soldier who was part of the recruitment-troops within the area of: 'Wehrkreis XI' being a larger area situated in the provinces Hessen and Thüringen and of which its staff was residing in the town of Kassel) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat straps show some moderate age and/or wear and have the darker-green-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks': they do show as stated above the bright-orange- (ie. 'orangeroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or woolen-type piping. The shoulderstraps come mounted onto their period tongues attached, something that is actually quite unusual. The straps - which measure both approximately 10,8 cms. in length each - show the neatly embroidered (by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei') and Roman-styled 'IX'-numerals ie. 'Ziffern' (which are executed in orange-coloured stitching) denoting that it was a pair that was intended for a soldier who was attached to the: 'Wehr-Ersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises IX'. The straps - that originate from my private shoulderstrap-collection - show some obvious age and/or wear and one of the straps shows a tiny moth-hole (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very decorative and/or fully 'text-book' and actually not that often encountered! - 'Heeres'-type, 'cyphered' shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to a: 'Soldat des des Wehrersatzdienstelle im Wehrkreises IX'!
