Single, WH (Heeres) NCO-type shoulderstrap: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Lehr-Btls.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless quite scarcely seen! - (I deem) early- (ie. mid-war-) period, so-called: 'M40'-pattern, WH (Heeres) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the desirable black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Lehr-Batailions)' (or: NCO and sergeant who served within within an army-engineers, training-battalion) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. just moderately worn-), condition. The shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 10,5 cms. in length as more often seen - has the neat black-coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached (as is more encountered with these early war-period shoulderstraps). The shoulderstrap - which originates from a larger cloth- and insignia-collection I recently acquired for the web-site - shows the silverish-grey-toned (ie. non-sub-dued) NCO-braid attached and comes mounted onto its functional tongue: next to this it shows a neat (regular-sized, Gothic-styled and/or: 'Feinzink'-based) 'L'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and a single (equally styled and/or regular-sized) pip period-attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). The strap - that is in my opinion a typical 'tailor-made' example that was entirely constructed from so-called: 'boiled wool' - shows some evident age, wear and/or staining (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply an attractive WH (Heeres) so-called: 'M40'-pattern, NCO-type 'Pioniere'-related shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel u. Mitglied einer Pionier-Lehr-Batailions)': too bad that it is only a single specimen!
