Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'M36 o. M40'-pattern- (ie. rounded-styled) 'cyphered' shoulderstraps as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 5'

This is an attractive - fully matching and with certainty fairly scarcely encountered - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'M36 o. M40'-pattern- (ie. rounded-styled) 'cyphered' shoulderstraps as piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured piping, as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 5' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the artillery-regiment ie. unit numbered: '5') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem just minimally used ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The straps - which measure both approximately 11,8 cms. in length - have the 'standard'-pattern- and/or darker-green-coloured, smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or woolen-type piping attached. The shoulderstraps shows the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei') '5'-numerals (ie. cyphers or 'Ziffern') attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Both 'cyphers' are executed in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured wool ie. linnen as to be expected. The straps - which never had any tongues and that show the 'standard-issued'-pattern, silver-coloured NCO-braid attached - show as stated above only minimal usage and/or wear (some minor staining and/or dust is however visible and/or present). The pair came with a set of pebbled-styled (and field-grey-toned) 'Schulterstückknöpfe' (that show the numeral '7') period-attached. It should be noted that all 'cyphered', 'Artillerie'-related NCO-type shoulderstraps are very desirable and can easily be regarded 'scarce', even more so when they come in such a very nicely preserved condition. Simply an attractive, early- ie. pre-war-period, neatly 'cyphered Heeres' shoulderstrap-pair that was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Artillerie-Regiments 5' which is I deem priced according to its obvious desirability and/or scarcity!
