Attractive - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres), early-war-period- (ie. 'M40'-pattern and 'tailor-made'-) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel der Veterinär-Trpn.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless not that easily found! - typically 'tailor-made'- ie. 'privately-purchased'-pattern, WH (Heeres) early-war period- (ie. 'M40'-pattern and/or: rounded-styled) NCO-type shoulderstrap (ie. 'Schulterstück für Unteroffiziere des Heeres') as piped in the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Oberfeldwebel der Veterinär-Truppen' (or: sergeant first-class who served within an army veterinarian-unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. moderately used- and most certainly worn- and/or I deem carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat strap - which has the 'standard'-pattern, darker-green-coloured and/or typical woolen'- (ie. 'boiled wool'-) based 'upperdeck' and that measures approximately 11,5 cms. in length - shows the neat darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached. The strap shows a neat ('Buntmetall'-based) 'snake'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and a pair of (identical, smaller-sized and also 'Buntmetall'-based) pips, period-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap - that shows the typical silverish-toned) NCO-braid attached - comes mounted onto its (smaller-sized) tongue attached as worn (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap only shows moderate wear and/or age and is just very nicely preserved (as can be seen on the pictures). It should, moreover, be noted that the darker-pink- ie. crimson- (or: 'karmesinroter'-) coloured branchcolour is one of the more difficult to encounter branchcolours of the entire: 'Deutsche Wehrmacht'. I deem this an excellent occasion to acquire a neat - and most certainly desirable! - NCO-type, 'Veterinäre'-related, NCO-shoulderstrap for a I deem a justified price!
