Fully matching pair of WH (Heeres) early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M40/M43'-pattern) NCO-type 'cyphered' shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel einer Sanitäts-Abteilung und Mitglied einer Ärtzlichen Akademie des Heeres'

This is a very attractive - fully matching and just moderately used- ie. clearly tunic-removed - pair of WH (Heeres) (I deem) early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M40/M43'-pattern) NCO-type 'cyphered' shoulderstraps having the darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and clearly used by! - an: 'Oberfeldwebel einer Sanitäts-Abteilung und Mitglied einer Ärtzlichen Akademie des Heeres' (or: sergeant first-class and/or medical student who served within an army medical academy) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat straps - which are both approximately 11,5 cms. sized in length - have the 'standard-pattern'- and/or: field-grey-coloured, woolen-based 'upperdecks' and have the desirable 'silk-like'-type- and/or darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour ie. piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The shoulderstraps show the (standard-pattern- ie. silverish-golden-coloured- ie. somewhat 'tarnished') NCO-braid attached and show a (Gothic-styled, fully matching and/or zinc-based) pair of so-called: 'A'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and set of four (regular-sized- and also zinc-based) pips period-attached denoting that the pair was intended for usage by an NCO with the rank of: 'Oberfeldwebel' (ie. sergeant first-class) who served within one of the (Heeres) medical-academies. One of the 'A'-cyphers has been period-stitched onto the straps (as can be noticed on the pictures). The pair comes naturally mounted onto its functional tongues (and do both show some minimal moth-damage on their backs). Both straps show some moderate age, wear and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive WH (Heeres) 'Sanitäts-Truppen'-related shoulderstrap-pair that belonged to an: 'Oberfeldwebel einer Sanitäts-Abteilung und Mitglied einer Ärtzlichen Akademie des Heeres': I deem that I have priced this attractive - and with certainty scarcely seen! - shoulderstrap-pair (that was never before part of a collection and which was recently found as such) according to its comparative rarity and/or desirability!
