Single, WH (Heeres) 'tropical-issued'- (ie. early 'DAK'-related), NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for an: 'Unteroffizier der Nachschub-Trpn.'

This is a truly worn - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless quite scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres) typical 'tropical-issued'- (ie. early war-period DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related NCO-type shoulderstrap as piped in the neat bright-blue- (ie. 'kornblumenblauer'-) coloured branchcolour that was intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier der Nachschub-Truppen' (or junior-sergeant who served within an army transport-unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (and clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 11,3 cms. in length - has the neat bright-blue- (ie. 'kornblumenblauer'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached (that shows some usage and wear) and comes mounted onto its functional tongue as issued and/or most certainly worn. The strap is in a fully 'text-book' condition and has a 'earthen-brown'- ie. mustard-green-coloured and/or woolen-based 'upperdeck'. The board is also 'backed' with (similar) earthen-brown-coloured wool, something that is more often encountered with genuine (somewhat early-period) tropical ie. DAK- (ie. 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related shoulderstraps. The strap - which shows the golden-yellow-coloured, tropical-styled NCO-braid attached - is I deem only moderately worn (it is just somewhat faded ie. slightly stained caused by regular usage) and comes in a truly nice condition overall. It has never been cleaned and still shows some dirt ie. staining as caused by years of storage (as can be noticed on the pictures). As most certainly known are most DAK-shoulderboards offered on todays' market copies: this is naturally a fine and 100% genuine, period piece for which I give a life-time garuantee (as always). Simply a superb - and as most certainly known very scarcely encountered! - tropical-pattern, early-period 'Nachschub'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
