Single - and actually not that often seen! - WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M36- o. M40'-pattern- and 'pointed styled') 'cyphered' shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Regiments 17'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, so-called: 'M36- o. M40'-pattern- (pointed-styled) 'cyphered'- and/or per regulation non-piped NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for - and worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Regiments 17' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the army infantry-unit ie. regiment numbered: '17') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstrap - which is approximately 12 cms. sized in length - has the 'standard-type'- and/or darker-green-coloured, smooth-woolen-based 'upperdeck' and has (of course) no piping attached. The strap shows the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei'-) so-called: '1'- and '7'-cyphers ie. numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') 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 strap - which never had a tongue attached and that was intended as a strap of the 'sew-in'-pattern and that has the 'standard-pattern' and silver-coloured NCO-braid attached - shows as stated above moderate usage and/or wear and is just minimally stained (as can be noticed on the pictures). 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 NCO-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier des Infanterie-Regiments 17'!
