Superb - an fully matching and most certainly very rarely encountered! - pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type, 'tropical'-pattern shoulderstraps as was intended for - and most certainly worn by! - a: 'Stabfeldwebel der Panzer- o. Panzerjäger-Trpn.'

This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and most certainly exceedingly rarely encountered! - pair of (I deem mid-war-period- ie. presumably still 'DAK'- or: 'Deutsches Afrika Korps'-related-), WH (Heeres) NCO-type, 'standard-issued' and/or 'tropical'-pattern shoulderstraps as piped in the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and most certainly worn by! - a: 'Stabfeldwebel der Panzer- o. Panzerjäger-Trpn.' (or: senior- ie. company-sergeant who served within the army, tank- ie. tank-destroyer-troops) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. clearly worn- and/or tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which are as stated above totally matching in execution and/or style - measure approximately 11,2 cms. in length each. Both straps have the typical brownish-green- (ie. tropical-) coloured and/or linnen-based 'upperdecks' (and brownish- ie. earthen-green-coloured, woolen-based 'backings' as is more often seen) and have the neat - and desirable! - bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping, attached. The pair shows the golden-brown-coloured (ie. typical tropical 'sub-dued') NCO-braid and six (regular-sized, not complete matching and/or zinc- ie. partly aluminium-based) pips period-attached denoting the (unusually seen!) rank of: 'Stabsfeldwebel' (ie. senior NCO ie. company-sergeant). The pair comes naturally mounted onto its functional tongues and comes as most certainly worn and/or stored as such for decades. The neat pair was always together and was most certainly worn as such. The set is just a tiny bit dirty ie. stained and shows the clear evidence of having been moderately used and/or worn (it has minimally been faded due to obvious sunlight and does show some minimal staining). It should be noted that all (genuine!) tropical- ie. 'DAK'-related NCO-shoulderstraps are very hard to encounter and can easily be graded 'very rare': most of the pairs offered on todays' market are regrettably copies. This truly superb pair originated from an extensive and older shoulderstrap- ie. board-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site. I am aware of the fact that they are highly priced something that is - I deem - according to their unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
