Superb - matching and actually rarely found! - pair of WH (Heeres) early-war-period- (ie. 'M36'- ie. 'M40'-pattern) neatly 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for an: 'Unterfeldwebel des Kavallerie- o. Reiter-Regiments 16'
This is an attractive - matching and (I deem) pre-war- ie. evt. early-war-period! - pair of 'standard-issued'-pattern, WH (Heeres) early- ie. pre-war period- (ie. 'M36'- ie. 'M40'-pattern and/or: rounded-styled), neatly 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Unteroffiziere des Heeres') as was piped in the desirable golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Unterfeldwebel des Kavallerie- o. Reiter-Regiments 16' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the 16th cavalry regiment) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat straps - which have the 'standard'-pattern, sub-dued-green-coloured and/or typical 'smooth woolen'-based 'upperdecks' and that measure approximately 11,4 (ie. 10,6) cms. in length each - show the neat golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured and/or (typical) woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). They come naturally mounted onto their period-attached- (regular-shaped) tongues attached and come both in a very nice- (ie. fully 'text-book') condition overall (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - that differ a tiny bit in length but that have most certainly been worn as a pair - have the yellowish-silver-toned NCO-braid attached and show show the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei') so-called: '1'- and/or: '6'-cyphers ie. numerals (or: 'Ziffern'). Both 'cyphers' are executed in the golden-yellow- (ie. 'goldgelbener'-) coloured wool ie. linnen as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). These type of shoulderstraps are of the fairly early-war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1939/1940 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). The pair only shows moderate wear and/or age and is just nicely preserved over the years (as can be seen on the pictures). I deem this an excellent occasion to acquire a neat - and most certainly desirable! - NCO-type, 'Kavallerie'-related, Heeres-shoulderstrap-pair for a justified price!
