Pair of WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' EM-type shoulderstraps (with 'Überschuben'!): 'Sld. u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abtlgs. 220'

This is an attractive - fully matching and with certainty scarcely found! - pair of early- (ie. mid-war-) period, WH (Heeres) enlisted-mens'-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! - a: 'Soldat' (ie. simple soldier) who served within the: 'Pionier-Abteilung 220' (or: army-engineers'-construction-unit ie. bataillon, numbered: '220') and that comes in an overall very 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 woolen-type piping attached and measure approximately 12,2 cms. in length each. 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: '220' (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 EM-type shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to a: 'Soldat u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abteilungs 220'; I deem that I priced this attractive and desirable EM-pair according to its overall nicely preserved albeit untouched, condition!
