Superb - and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) early-war-period- (ie. 'M36'- ie. 'M40'-pattern and/or rounded-styled) NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for an: 'Oberwachtmeister eines (Sturm)Art.-Abts. o. Rgts.'
This is a truly attractive - and fully matching! - pair of standard-issued- (ie. non-privately-purchased nor 'tailor-made'-) pattern, WH (Heeres) early-war period- (ie. 'M36'- ie. 'M40'-pattern and/or: rounded-styled) NCO-type shoulderstraps (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Unteroffiziere des Heeres') as was piped in the desirable bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Oberwachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments' (or: sergeant first-class who served within an artillery unit or regiment) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat straps - which have the 'standard'-pattern, darker-green-coloured- and/or typical 'smooth woolen'-based 'upperdecks' and that measure approximately 11,5 cms. in length each - show the neat bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Both straps show two matching pairs of (regular-sized- and/or aluminium-based) pips period-attached denoting the NCOs-rank of: 'Oberwachtmeister o. Oberfeldwebel' (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - that show the typical silverish-toned NCO-braid attached - come mounted onto their period tongues and come both in an overall very nice- and/or just minimally used condition (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an excellent occasion to acquire a neat NCO-type, '(Sturm)Artillerie'-related shoulderstrap-pair for an I deem justified price!
