Single - but nevertheless scarcely found! - WH (Heeres) I deem mid-war period- (ie. 'M43'-pattern-) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for usage by an: 'Unteroffizier u. Offiziers-Anwärter der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen'

This is a truly very attractive - albeit single but nevertheless scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres) I deem mid-war period- (ie. 'M43'-pattern-) NCO-type-shoulderstrap as was piped in the desirable bright-green- (ie. 'wiesengrüner'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for - and most certainly worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier u. Offiziers-Anwärter der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen' (ie. junior-sergeant and/or officers'-candidate who served within an infantry-related, so-called: rifle-regiment ie. unit) and that comes in an overall nice (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures 11,8 cms. sized in length - has the field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'upperdeck' and has the neat (and desirable!) bright-green- (ie. 'wiesengrüner'-) coloured- and/or 'silk-like'-type, piping, attached. The strap comes naturally mounted on its functional tongue and does show obvious wear, usage and/or minimal age. The strap shows the 'standard'-type, bluish-grey-coloured (ie. 'sub-dued'-type) 'Heeres'-NCO-braid attached and does also show two dual stripes (ie. 'Laschen') of (equally styled- and period-attached-) NCO-braid attached denoting that the bearer was also an officers'-candidate (ie.: 'Offiziers-Anwärter'). Simply a very attractive - and rarely found! - NCO-type 'Panzergrenadiere'-shoulderstrap that comes in an unusually found rank that belonged to an: 'Unteroffizier u. Offiziers-Anwärter der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen': too bad that it is only a single specimen!
