Single, Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap as piped in the bright-red-coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'SS-Unterscharführer' who served within the: 'SS-(Sturm)Artillerie-Trpn.'

This is a very attractive - and I deem just minimally worn albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap that shows the neat bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or typical 'silk-like'-type piping attached and was as such worn by an NCO holding the rank of: 'SS-Unterscharführer der (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen' (or: junior-sergeant who served within the artillery-troops). The strap is in all facets a fully 'text-book'-SS-NCO-strap and does show the minimal signs of having been used and/or worn as such. The shoulderstrap - that measures approx. 11 cms. sized in length as more often encountered - shows some minimal age simply caused by wear and/or usage. The strap shows the typical Waffen-SS-pattern- (and/or: smaller-shaped) tongue attached (as only observed on genuine Waffen-SS-pattern straps) and also shows the field-grey-coloured 'underlay' (as can be noticed on the pictures). It shows the typical, silverish-grey-coloured (ie. non-sub-dued) NCO-braid period-attached denoting that it was used by an NCO holding the rank of: 'Unterscharführer' (or: junior-sergeant). It should be noted that these original, period Waffen-SS-shoulderstraps can nowadays easily be graded 'scarce': even more so when they are of the NCO-type and piped in the not that commonly encountered, bright-red-coloured- (ie. 'SS-(Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen'-) related branchcolour. I deem that this attractive and textbook Waffen-SS NCO-type shoulderstrap is with certainty accordingly priced: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
