Pair of neatly 'cyphered'- (and I deem somewhat later-war-period), WH (Kriegsmarine) NCO-type shoulderstraps as intended for usage by an: 'Oberfwbl. eines Küsten-Artillerie-Abtgs.'

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually not that easily encountered! - neatly 'cyphered'- (and I deem somewhat later- ie. mid-war-period pattern) pair of WH (Kriegsmarine) NCO-type shoulderstraps as was specifically intended for usage onto the field-grey coloured navy-style tunics as was worn by an: 'Oberfeldwebel eines Küsten-Artillerie-Abteilungs' (or: senior-NCO ie. sergeant first-class who served within a naval coastal-artillery unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem just moderately used- ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed- ie. 'cut-off a tunic'-), condition. The straps - which are fully 'text-book' in all facets - measure approximately 10,6 cms. in length (and have a width of 5,5 cms. as usually seen) have the typical field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdecks'. The straps - that comes 'cut-off a tunic' and misses its tongues - have the (typical KM-type) golden-toned NCO-braid attached and show a matching pair of (I deem 'Buntmetall'-based, golden-toned and somewhat tarnished) so-called: 'anchor'-cyphers or: 'Ziffern' and two pairs of (smaller-sized and equally-styled) pips period-attached (denoting the rank of an: 'Oberfeldwebel') as can be noticed on the pictures. The straps show some moderate age, wear and/or staining but are void of any damage: of interest is, moreover, that it seems that this pair once showed embroidreed cyphers but these have been carefully removed ie. cut-out (as can be seen on the pictures). Of interest is, moreover, the fact that this pair came with a pair of field-grey-toned so-called: anchor-buttons (as can be noticed on the pictures). It should be noted that ALL 'Küstenartillerie' insignia-pieces are actually quite hard to encounter: those 'cyphered' examples even more so, which grades them easily as 'scarce'. I deem this an attractive mid- ie. later-war-period 'cyphered', naval NCO-type shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for usage on the field-grey-coloured attire and that is priced according to its 'cut-off a tunic'-condition!
