Single, WH (Heeres) 'M36 o. M40'-pattern, NCO-type shoulderstrap: 'O.Fwbl. u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abtlgs. 40'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless scarcely seen! - (I deem) early- (ie. mid-war-) period, so-called: 'M36 o. M40'-pattern, WH (Heeres) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for an NCO ie.: 'Oberfeldwebel u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abteilungs 40' (or senior-NCO ie. sergeant first-class who served witin the army-engineers unit, numbered: '40') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem clearly issued- and/or: just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 11,8 cms. in length as more often seen - has the neat (and desirable!) 'silk-like'-type piping attached (as is more encountered with these early- (ie. mid-war-) period shoulderstraps). The shoulderstrap - which originates from a larger cloth- and insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site - shows the (bright)silverish-toned (ie. non-sub-dued) NCO-braid and has a pair of (matching, zinc-based and minimally tarnished) '4'- and/or: '0'-cyphers ie. numerals and a (matching, zinc-based) pair of pips, period-attached and comes mounted onto its functional tongue (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive - and/or fully 'text-book'! - 'M36- o. M40'-pattern, NCO-type, 'Pioniere'-related shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel u. Mitglied des Pionier-Abteilungs 40': too bad that it is only a single specimen!
