Superb - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M41'-pattern) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by a: 'Oberfeldwebel einer Nebelwerfer-Lehr-Rgts. o. Abts.'

This is an attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless rarely found! - WH (Heeres) 'cyphered', early- (ie. mid-) war-period- (ie. 'M41'-pattern) NCO-type shoulderstrap as piped in the darker-purple- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an NCO (ie. 'Oberfeldwebel' or sergeant first-class) who served within a: 'Heeres Nebelwerfer-Lehr-Regiment o. Abteilung' (or: smoke-troops trainings-unit) 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 minimal wear, age and/or staining but is void of any damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap shows the silver-toned NCO-braid attached and shows the desirable darker-purple- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping and measures approximately 13 cms. in length. The piece comes mounted onto its period tongue (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap is constructed from the typical darker-green (ie. field-grey) coloured wool and is with certainty a: 'standard-issued'- (ie. non-tailor-made) piece. It shows a neat (regular-sized, Gothic-styled and/or: alumnium-based) 'L'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') and two (equally styled and/or regular-sized) pips period-attached: it should be noted that the 'L'-cypher misses one of its prongs (as can be noticed on the pictures). 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 smaller cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Nebelwerfer'-related NCO-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
