Superb - fully matching and not that easily found! - pair of neatly 'cyphered' (and I deem somewhat later-war-pattern!) WH (Kriegsmarine) NCO-type shoulderstraps as was intended for a: 'Stabsfeldwebel eines Küsten-Artillerie-Rgts. o. Abtlgs.'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually not that easily found! - pair of neatly 'cyphered' (and I deem somewhat later-war-period pattern), WH (Kriegsmarine) NCO-type shoulderstraps (as was specifically intended for usage on the field-grey-coloured navy tunics) as was specifically intended for - and most certainly worn by! - a: 'Stabsfeldwebel eines Küsten-Artillerie-Regiments o. Abteilungs' (ie. NCO and senior-sergeant who served within a naval-related, coastal-artillery unit) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The straps - which are truly 'text-book' in all facets and that measure approximately 10,7 cms. in length (and have a width of 5,8 cms. as more often) - have the darker-green-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks' and come mounted onto their functional tongues. The straps - that are somewhat 'crudely' assembled - shows a pair of (bright-golden-toned, fully matching, I deem 'Buntmetall'-based- and/or minimally tarnished) so-called: 'anchor and bomb'-cyphers (ie. Ziffern) and six of (silverish-grey-toned, smaller-sized, also matching and/or typical zinc-based) pips period-attached, denoting the (unusual!) senior-NCOs rank of a: 'Stabsfeldwebel'. The set has naturally also the golden-coloured- (ie. 'standard'-pattern) WH Kriegsmarine NCO-braid attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which originate from an old shoulderboard-collection I recently acquired for the web-site - show some moderate age and/or wear (they have been clearly tunic-removed and were truly used as such). Simply a very attractive - and neatly 'cyphered'! - naval NCO'-type shoulderstrap-pair as was intended for usage on the field-grey coloured attire: one the most attractive pairs in this particular and unusual rank I ever had on offer!
