Pair of WH (Heeres) - I deem - early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M40'-pattern) EM-type shoulderstraps: 'Soldat einer Pionier-Abtlgs.'

This is a very attractive - fully matching and actually not that easily found! - pair of WH (Heeres) - I deem - early-war-period (ie. 'M40'-pattern) enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for a soldat (ie. engineer-soldier) who served within a: 'Heeres Pionier-Abteilungs' and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued albeit never used- nor once tunic-attached- and still 'virtually mint'-), condition. The neat straps are just moderately used and/or worn and do show some minimal wear, age and/or staining but are truly void of any 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 and measure approximately 11 cms. in length each. The pieces come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues (as can be seen on the pictures). The pair is constructed from the typical darker-green (ie. field-grey-) coloured (smooth-type) wool and is with certainty a: 'standard-issued'- (ie. non-tailor-made) pair. These type of shoulderstraps are of the typical early-war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1940 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). This particular pair originated from a larger cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Pioniere'-related EM-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap-pair: I deem that I priced this very attractive pair according to its overall very nice and totally untouched condition!
