This is an attractive - and/or fully matching and actually not that easily found! - pair of nicely preserved RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') NCO-type shoulderstraps (being of the second pattern as was used in the period between 1936-41) as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'RAD-Truppführer' (being a rank that is comparable with a 'Feldwebel'- ie. sergeant-rank) and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem possibly issued albeit never used nor tunic-attached-), condition. The neat schoulderstraps have the 'standard'-pattern, earthen-brown- ie. greenish-coloured- and/or smooth-woolen-based 'upperdecks' and do show the black-and-silver-coloured- (ie. striped- ie. black-centered) and/or braid-based piping and a single pip period-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps measure approximately 12 cms. in length each and are of the 'regular-issued'- (ie. non-private-production-) type. The straps come without tongues (they were with certainty intended to be used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-type) and come in a very nice, ie. fully 'text-book' condition, overall. The pair shows - as stated above - just minimal storage-age only (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a great occasion to acquire a desirable (and actually hard to find!) 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'-related, NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was specifically intended for usage by an: 'RAD-Truppführer'!
