Superb - rarely encountered and fully matching! - pair of WH (Heeres) pre- ie. (early-) war-period (ie. 'M36 o. M40'-pattern-) NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the bright-orange-coloured branchcolour for a: 'Feldwebel der Feldgendarmerie-Truppen'

The very attractive - and truly rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'M36 o. M40'-pattern NCO-type shoulderstraps - which have the darker-green-coloured- and/or: typical woolen-based 'upperdecks' - have the desirable bright-orange- (ie. 'orangeroter'-) and/or woolen-type piping attached and measure approximately 11 cms. in length each. The straps come naturally mounted onto their original tongues and come in an overall very nice- (ie. fully 'text-book'!) condition overall: the straps were just moderately used and do show some minimal age, wear and/or staining: some minimal age, wear and/or staining is noticable (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which were intended for a: 'Feldwebel der Feldgendarmerie-Truppen' (or: sergeant and field-police NCO) - were with certainly always together and were worn as such as a pair. The pair shows the (typical) silver-toned NCO-braid and a pair of (aluminium-based, regular-sized) pips period-attached denoting the rank of a: 'Feldwebel' (or sergeant). It should be noted that these bright orange-piped, NCO-type-, 'Felgendarmerie'-related shoulderstraps are very desirable and can nowadays easily be graded 'rare': this is one of those shoulderstrap-pairs that every collector is nowaydays searching-for but that is simply not that often offered for sale. I deem that this very attractive pair is priced according to its obvious rarity and/or desirability!
