Single, RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') NCO-type shoulderstrap (being of the 2nd pattern as used in the period between 1936-41) as was intended for an: 'RAD-Obertruppführer' (comparable with an: 'Unterfeldwebel'-rank)

This is a regrettably single - but nevertheless not that easily found! - RAD (ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst') NCO-type shoulderstrap (being of the second pattern as was used in the period between 1936-41) as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'RAD-Obertruppführer' (being a rank that is comparable with an 'Unterfeldwebel'- ie. junior-sergeant-rank) and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. I deem just moderately used- ie. carefully tunic-removed-) condition. The shoulderstrap has the 'standard'-pattern, earthen-brown- (ie. greenish-)coloured- and/or smooth-woolen-based 'upperdeck' and does show the black-coloured- (and/or woolen-based) piping attached: moreover, does it show the typical (silver-toned and black-centered) RAD-NCO-braid atttached (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap measures approximately 11 cms. in length and is of the 'regular-issued'- (ie. non-private-production-) type. The strap comes mounted onto its functional tongue and comes in an overall nice- (ie. fully 'text-book'), condition. This example originates from a larger-sized grouping of RAD- and/or FAD-insignia that was recently found at a private-household in Germany and that I acquired for the web-site. Simply a neat 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'-related, NCO-type shoulderstrap that was specifically intended for usage by an: 'RAD-Obertruppführer'!
