Single, WH (Heeres) mid-war-period- (ie. 'M41/M43'-pattern) 'cyphered', NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by a: 'Feldwebel einer Sanitäts-Abtlgs.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres) 'cyphered' NCO- (ie. 'M41/M43'-pattern) shoulderstrap as piped in the darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an NCO (ie. 'Feldwebel' or: sergeant ie. medical-orderly) who served within a: 'Heeres Sanitäts-Abteilung' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The neat strap is just moderately used and/or worn and does show some obvious wear, age and/or staining but is void of any real damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap shows the desirable darker-blue- (ie. 'blauer'-) coloured- and/or (desirable) 'silk-like'-type piping and measures approximately 12 cms. in length. The piece shows the 'standard-issue'-pattern (somewhat shiny!) silver-coloured, NCO-braid period-attached and comes naturally mounted onto its functional tongue (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap is constructed from the typical field-grey-coloured wool and is with certainty a: 'standard-issued'- (ie. non-tailor-made) piece. The strap shows a neat (regular-sized, silver-toned- and/or aluminium-based-) so-called: 'Aesculapus'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and an (equally-styled- and regular-sized) pip period-attached denoting the NCOs'-rank of a: 'Feldwebel der Sanitäts-Truppen' (or: medical-sergeant). These type of shoulderstraps are of the typical (early- ie. mid-) war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1941/1943 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). This particular strap originated from a larger cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Sanitäter'-related NCO-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
