Superb - fully matching and actually truly scarcely seen! - pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type (ie. 'M40- o. M43'-pattern) shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Offiziers-Anwärter einer Infanterie Lehr-Bataillons o. Regiments'

This is a truly attractive - fully matching and actually truly scarcely found! - pair of WH (Heeres) early- (ie. mid-) war-period, so-called: 'M40- o. M43'-pattern, NCO-type shoulderstraps having the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and clearly worn by! - a: 'Feldwebel u. Offiziers-Anwärter einer Infanterie Lehr-Bataillons o. Regiments' (or: NCO ie. sergeant and officers'-candidate who served within an army-infantry training ie. instruction battalion or regiment) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 12,3 cms. in length each - have the 'standard-type'- and/or field-grey-coloured, woolen-based 'upperdecks'. The straps - which have the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached - show the (typical) bluish-grey-coloured (ie. 'sub-dued') NCO-braid attached and do show each a (double-sized) slip-on (ie. 'Lasche') period- (and loosely) attached (which are also neatly executed in 'sub-dued'-pattern NCO-braid and that are unusually 'lined' with field-grey-toned wool!) denoting that the NCO who wore this pair was an: 'Offiziers-Anwärter' ie. officers'-candidate (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps show a matching pair of the neat (silver-toned, Gothic-styled, regular-sized- and/or 'Buntmetall'-based) so-called: 'L'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and two (regular-sized- and equally-based) pips period-attached denoting the rank ie. function of: 'Feldwebel einer Infanterie-Lehr-Regiments'. The straps - which came mounted onto their functional tongues - show as stated above some moderate usage and/or wear (some minor staining and/or dust is visible and/or present). This neat pair originates from a private-household in Germany and was never before in collector-hands. Simply an attractive and/or: early- ie. mid-war-period, 'Heeres'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Offiziers-Anwärter einer Infanterie Lehr-Bataillons o. Regiments'!
