Pair of mid-war-period, so-called: 'M41 o. M43'-pattern, WH (Heeres) EM-type shoulderstraps that comes with its accompanying 'Überschube'-pair as was intended for a: Soldat des Kradschützen-Btls. 12 der Pz.Div. u. Inf.Div. (mot)'
This is a truly very attractive - and actually rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M41 o. M43'-pattern) enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstraps as piped in the desirable, copper-brown- (ie. 'kupferbrauner'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and I deem just moderately used by! - a: Soldat des Kradschützen-Bataillons 12 der Pz.Div. u. Inf.Div. (mot)' (or: simple soldier who served within a tank- ie. infantry-related, motor-cycle unit, numbered: '12') and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just minimally used ie. worn-), condition. The straps - which I deem are of the early- (ie. mid-war-) period ie. so-called: 'M41 o. M43'-pattern - have the field-grey-coloured 'upperdecks' and have the neat, light copper-brown- (ie. 'kupferbrauner'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The tongues are naturally also present. The straps - which are regular-sized and that measure 12,3 cms. in length each - come naturally mounted onto their functional tongues and came with a (also fully matching) pair of neat (field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based) so-called: shoulderstrap-slip-ons (ie. 'Schulterstück-Überschuben') attached bearing both the unit-designation: '12' (as executed in equally copper-brown-coloured, so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei' done in wool as can be seen on the pictures). Both the shoulderstraps and/or: 'Überschuben'-pair come in an overall very nice and/or fully undamaged condition (as can be seen on the pictures). This rarely seen pair originated from an older and extensive shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. As possibly known, is this typical 'kupferbrauner'-branchcolour very rarely seen and can most certainly be regarded as one of the most rarely encountered branchcolours within the entire 'Deutsche Wehrmacht': original EM-type straps are almost never offered for sale and are missing in most shoulderstrap-collections. The pair on offer here just shows some minimal age, wear and or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and fully 'text-book'! - 'Kradschützen'-enlisted-mens'-shoulderstrap-pair that will be very hard to be upgraded and that does most certainly not come often for sale!
