A few Heer Pioneer Oberfeldwebel's shoulder straps

[Adrian Stevenson]

Here are three Heer Pioneer Oberfeldwebel's shoulder straps from my collection.

The first one shown is a typical strap worn on the Feldbluse. Sadly the underside has been home to a moth at some point in time. Most likely this one was taken from an M36 Feldbluse.

The second set are a pair taken from a Waffenrock. Note the narrow width. This kind of strap can often be found on parade tunics. The rank pips have a nice matt frosted silver washed finish. Again, being a numbered strap it is possible to research where the Regt fought.

Cheers, Ade.

Those are some wonderful pieces, Ade. Isn't the 5th Pioneer a Stalingrad participant?

Hi Ade, your Pioneer insignia is very nice. If you ever decide to start purging your collection-please let me know ;-)) The only Pioneer items I have currently-are a minty pair of Officers Collartabs.
