WW2 German Army Panzer / Panzerabwehr M-40 Shoulder Straps, Pair. The straps are made of two or more shades of field gray wool with a mid-late war paler pink rayon piping. The material shows age toning from coal based dyes and there are a few months nips, but they do not detract. Beginning in 1940 German industry began to look for ways to simplify manufacturing and conserve material, thus the M-40/43 style of shoulder straps were born. Using one piece of die cut uniform cloth for the top, and a half length piece for the bottom, greatly simplified material and manufacturing time. Clean with only minor age in Condition II+
