Single - but nevertheless very rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. truly 'DAK'-related!) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for an: 'Unteroffizier der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen'

This is a truly attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless quite rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. I deem truly DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-related), NCO-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the neat bright-green- (ie. 'hell- o. wiesengrüner'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen' (or: junior-sergeant who served within an army infantry-related regiment or unit) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. clearly worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 11,2 cms. in length - has the neat bright-green- (ie. 'hell- o. wiesengrüner'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached and comes mounted onto its functional tongue as issued and/or most certainly worn. The strap is in a fully 'text-book' condition and has a 'earthen-brown'- (ie. mustard-tan-) coloured and/or linnen-based 'upperdeck' (which is clearly sun-faded). The strap is also 'backed' with 'earthen-brown'- (ie. mustard-tan-) coloured wool, something that is more often encountered with genuine tropical ie. DAK- (or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related shoulderstraps. The strap - which shows the bluish-grey-coloured (ie. sub-dued) NCO-braid attached - is (I deem) clearly worn (it is just somewhat faded ie. slightly stained caused by regular usage) and comes in a truly great condition, overall. It has never been cleaned and still shows some dirt ie. staining as caused by years of storage. As most certainly known are most DAK-shoulderboards offered on todays' market copies: this is naturally a fine and 100% genuine, period piece for which I give a life-time garuantee (as always). Simply a superb - and as most certainly known very rarely encountered! - tropical-pattern, 'Panzer-Grenadiere'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
