Superb - and/or matching and rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres), early- (ie. pre-war-) period, 'M36'-pattern- (ie. rounded-styled- and/or 'cyphered'-) shoulderstraps, as was intended for an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Heeres-Flakartillerie-Abteilung

This is a very attractive - and/or fully matching and with certainty rarely encountered! - (I deem) early- (ie. pre-war-) period-, WH (Heeres), 'M36'- ie. M40'pattern- (rounded-styled) 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstraps as was piped in the white- (ie. weisser-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and/or clearly worn by! - an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Heeres-Flakartillerie-Abteilungs' (or: sergeant first-class who served within one of the army anti-aircraft units) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or clearly worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which are of the pre- (ie. early-) war-period type and that (I deem) originate from a private tailor-shop - show moderate age ie. wear and have the darker-green-coloured- and/or smooth woolen-based 'upperdecks' and do show the woolen-type piping (see pictures). The pieces - which are somewhat smaller-sized as more often seen - come without tongues: they were carefully 'cut-off' a tunic and were apparently once worn as a pair of the 'sew-in-type' (see pictures) and measure approximately 10,5 cms. in length each: both show the somewhat 'tarnished'- ie. worn-, silver-coloured- (ie. standard-pattern-) 'Heeres'-type NCO-braid and/or two (regular-sized- and/or: aluminium- ie. zinc-based-) pips each attached denoting the NCOs-rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (see pictures). Next to this, the straps show the - truly rarely seen larger-sized- and/or: Gothic-styled-, so-called: 'FL'-cyphers (ie. Ziffern') attached (Note: both 'cyphers' are executed in aluminium-based metal and were with certainty period-attached and/or worn as such). The straps show as stated above moderate usage and/or wear (some clear staining and/or dust is visible-/present). It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-, 'Heeres-Flak-Artillerie'-related shoulderstraps are very desirable and can easily be regarded 'rare'. This particular shoulderstrap-pair originated from a larger-sized- cloth-and/or shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired. Simply a very attractive - and truly rarely encountered and with certainty desirable! - 'Heeres'-related shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Heeres-Flakartillerie-Abteilungs'!
