Single - and scarcely seen! - WH (Heeres) EM-type (ie. 'M36-/M40'-pattern- and 'rounded styled-') 'cyphered' shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillon 54'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres) early-war-period, so-called: 'M36-/M40'-pattern- (rounded-styled) 'cyphered', enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstrap having the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - a: 'Soldat des 'Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillon 54' (or: simple soldier who served within the army mountain-troops ie. engineers battalion, numbered: '54') and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstrap - which is approximately 11,2 cms. sized in length - has the 'standard-type'- and/or darker-green-coloured, smooth-woolen-based 'upperdeck' and shows the neat (machine-embroidered by means of so-called: 'Kurbelstickerei') so-called: '5'- and/or '4'-cyphers ie. numerals (or: 'Ziffern'). Both 'cyphers' are executed in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured wool ie. linnen and are additionally piped in white as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap - which came without tongue and that was intended for usage as a strap of the 'sew-in'-pattern - shows as stated above some moderate usage and/or wear (some minor staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). It should be noted that all 'cyphered'-pattern, WH (Heeres) shoulderstraps can easily be regarded 'fairly scarce'. This strap originates from an older 'Gebirgjäger'-related shoulderstrap ie. board-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive and/or: early-war-period, neatly 'cyphered' and/or 'Heeres'-related EM-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by a: 'Soldat des Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillon 54'!
