Single, early-period- (ie. 'Reichswehr'-era), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' EM-type shoulderstrap: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Rgts. 8'

This is an attractive - regrettably single but actually fairly rarely encountered! - very early-period (ie. 'Reichswehr'-era), WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstrap having the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured and/or typical 'woolen'-type piping attached as was executed in neat field-grey-coloured- and/or: 'rib-cord'-like linnen as was specifically intended for - and with certainty used by! - a: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Regiments 8' (or: simple soldier who served within the army-infantry-regiment, numbered: '8') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit just moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The strap - which measures 11 cms. in length - is fully 'text-book' in all facets and is executed in (typical 'Reichwehr'-era pattern) HBT-like (ie. 'rib-cord'-like-) linnen and having the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured and/or 'woolen'-type piping attached. The strap - that came with a silverish-grey-coloured '20'-numbered, tunic- ie. company-button attached - comes mounted onto its functional, entirely linnen-based tongue (something that is more often encountered with these early-type straps): moreover, does it show the white-coloured '8'-cypher (ie. numeral or: 'Ziffer') which is executed in so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). These type of (early) shoulderstraps are of the pre-war-period-pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1935/1937 (but were worn-out during the war). The strap only shows moderate wear and/or age and is just nicely preserved over the years (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and with certainty quite rarely encountered! - 'cyphered' shoulderstrap that belonged to a: 'Soldat des Infanterie-Regiments 8' and that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
