Single - I deem early- ie. mid-war-period - WH (Heeres) so-called: 'M40'-(ie. 'M43'-) pattern, NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Oberwachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Regiments'

The neat shoulderstrap - which is approximately 12 cms. sized in length - has the 'standard-type'- and/or typical darker-field-grey-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'upperdeck' and shows the neat bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or: woolen-type branchcolour ie. piping, attached. The strap was only moderately used- and/or worn and does show only minimal staining and/or age mainly caused by regular wear and decades of storage only (the strap is, however, fully void of any damage as can be seen on the pictures). The strap comes naturally mounted onto its functional tongue and has the neat, 'standard'-type- and (bright) silverish-coloured, 'Heeres'-type- NCO-braid and two (aluminium-based- and regular-sized) pips periodattached, denoting the NCOs'-rank of: 'Oberwachtmeister o. Oberfeldwebel' (ie. sergeant first-class). Simply a great occasion to acquire an attractive and/or fully 'text-book', 'M40'-( ie. 'M43'-) styled NCO-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: 'Oberwachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Regiments': too bad that it is only a single example!
