Superb - and rarely found! - pair of WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstraps (for usage onto the black-coloured, 'wrap-around'-styled Panzer-tunics) as intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Panzer-Rgts.'

This is an attractive - albeit non-matching (but most certainly worn as such!) very desirable and just moderately worn- and/or used! - pair of WH (Heeres), NCO-type shoulderstraps (as was specifically intended to be used onto the black-coloured, 'wrap-around'-styled Panzer-tunics) that shows the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or 'silk-like'-type piping attached and was as such worn by a senior NCO holding the rank of an: 'Oberfeldwebel u. Mitglied eines Panzer-Regiments' (or: NCO ie. sergeant first-class who served within an army tank-regiment). Both straps are in all facets, fully 'text-book' (and I deem fairly early- ie. mid-war-period) example of Pz-NCO-straps but are somewhat different in execution (one of the straps shows for example a 'rib-styled'-upperdeck whereas the other strap shows a regular woolen-based upperdeck: both straps where, however, always together and were with certainty worn as such as a pair. Both straps show the minimal signs of having been used and/or worn as such. The shoulderstraps - that measure approx. 12 cms. sized in length each as more often encountered - show the (typical) yellowish-silver-toned (ie. somewhat sub-dued- and/or 'standard'-pattern) NCO-braid and two matching pairs of (aluminium-based, smaller-sized) pips period-attached denoting the soldiers rank- ie. function of an: 'Oberfeldwebel'. The pair does show some moderate age simply caused by moderate wear and/or usage. The straps shows the regular-pattern tongues attached and show a (typical) greyish-black-coloured 'underlay' (as can be noticed on the pictures). It should be noted that these original, period 'wrap-around'-pattern, NCO-type shoulderstraps can nowadays easily be graded 'very scarce': even more so when they are of the period NCO-type and piped in the not that commonly encountered, bright-pink-coloured- (ie. 'Panzer-Truppen'-related-) branchcolour. I deem that this attractive - and fully textbook! - WH (Heeres), NCO-type 'Panzer'-shoulderstrap-pair is with certainty accordingly priced: one of the nicest such Panzer-type NCO-strap-pairs I had on offer for quite some time!
