Superb - and matching! - pair of 'cyphered' WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M40- o. M43'-pattern) shoulderstraps as piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel des Infanterie-Rgts. 26'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually nowadays not that easily found! - pair of WH (Heeres), neatly 'cyphered' and early- (ie. mid-) war-period, so-called: 'M40- o. M43'-pattern, NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - an: 'Oberfeldwebel des Infanterie-Regiments 26' (or: sergeant first-class who served within the army infantry-regiment, numbered: '26') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit - I deem - clearly used ie. worn- ie. carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 12,4 cms. sized in length each - have the 'standard-type'- and/or field-coloured- (and woolen-based) 'upperdecks'. The straps - which have the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured- and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached - show the (bluish-grey-coloured- ie. truly 'sub-dued'-pattern) NCO-braid attached (as can be seen on the pictures). I deem that this is a typical 'standard-issued' ie. non-'tailor-made'- (ie. non-privately-purchased) pair that was clearly used- and/or worn. The neat straps - which came mounted onto their period tongues - show as stated above moderate usage and/or wear (they are totally void of any real damage but do show some obvious staining and/or dust). The set shows two pairs of (smaller-sized, fully matching and/or zinc-based) '2'- and/or '6'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern') and four (also matching and zinc-based) pips period-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). This shoulderstrap-pair originated from an older shoulderstrap ie. board-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive 'Heeres'-related, early- (mid-) war-period and/or NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel des Infanterie-Regiments 26'!
