Pair of WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps (with 'Überschuben'!): 'Uffz. u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abtlgs. 122'

This is an attractive - fully matching and with certainty scarcely found! - pair of early- (ie. mid-war-) period, WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M40 o. M43'-pattern) and neatly 'cyphered' (ie. having a neat and fully matching pair of 'Schulterstück-Überschuben' attached!) as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and clearly used by! - an NCO (ie. 'Unteroffizer') who served within the: 'Pionier-Abteilung 122' (or: army-engineers'-construction-unit ie. bataillon, numbered: '122') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The straps are just moderately worn and do show some minimal wear, age and/or staining but are void of any real damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps show the desirable black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured- and/or 'silk-like'-type piping attached and measure approximately 11,5 cms. in length each: they show the bluish-grey-coloured (ie. truly 'sub-dued') NCO-braid attached. The pieces came mounted onto their period tongues attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair is constructed from the typical field-grey-coloured wool and is with certainty a 'standard-issued'-pair. Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this pair came with a (fully matching) pair of (field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based) so-called: shoulderstrap-slip-ons (ie. 'Schulterstück-Überschuben') period-attached bearing both the unit-designation: '122' (as executed in equally black-coloured, so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' done in wool as can be seen on the pictures). This particular pair originated from a larger cloth- ie. 'cyphered'-shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - neatly 'cyphered', 'Pioniere'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Unteroffizier. u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abteilungs 122'; I deem that I priced this attractive and desirable pair according to its overall nicely preserved albeit untouched, condition!
