Attractive - matching and scarcely seen! - pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M36-/M40'-pattern- and 'rounded styled-') 'cyphered' shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel des Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons 83'

This is an attractive - matching and actually scarcely found! - pair of WH (Heeres) early-war-period, so-called: 'M36-/M40'-pattern- (rounded-styled) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - a: 'Feldwebel des Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons 83' (or: sergeant who served within the army mountain-troops-related, engineers'- battailon, numbered: '83') and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- ie. carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The regular-sized shoulderstraps - which are approximately 12,2 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-type'- and/or darker-green-coloured, smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks'. The straps - which have the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured- and/or (typical) 'rayon'-type piping attached - shows the (silverish-coloured) NCO-braid attached and do show two (matching) pairs of so-called: '8'- and/or: '3'-cyphers ie. numerals (or: 'Ziffern') and single pip period-attached: all six devices are executed in (somewhat tarnished) and I deem 'Buntmetall'-based metal (as can be seen on the pictures). I deem that this is a typical pair that originated from a private tailor-shop. The neat straps - which came mounted onto their functional- albeit smaller-sized tongues - show as stated above some minimal 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 shoulderstrap-pair originated 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 NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel des Gebirgs-Pionier-Bataillons 83'!
