Attractive - and fully matching! - pair of early-pattern, so-called: 'Allgemeine-HJ' (ie. 'Hitlerjugend') shoulderstraps as was intended for usage by an: 'Oberscharführer' who was attached to the: 'Bann 220' (Bann 220 = Bann Arnstadt)

This is an attractive - fully matching and actually not that easily found! - pair of early-pattern, so-called: 'Allgemeine-HJ' (ie. general 'Hitlerjugend') shoulderstraps as was intended for usage - and clearly worn by! - an: 'Oberscharführer' who was attached to the: 'Bann 220' (Bann 220 = 'Bann Arnstadt' situated in the 'Gebiet Mitte Thüringen') and that comes in an overall nice- (I deem just moderately used- ie. carefully tunic- or shirt-removed-), condition. The straps - which are executed in typical, beige-tan-coloured linnen as to be expected - have the bright-red-coloured- (and typical rayon-based) piping attached and show the machine-embroidered - by means of 'Kurbelstickerei' (and/or equally coloured) so-called: '220'-numerals (ie. 'Ziffern'). The straps never had a tongue attached and come as found and/or issued: the pair is of 'sewn-in'-pattern and was also used as such). The straps show each two silver-toned pips and a single (aluminium-based) rank-stripe attached denoting the unusually seen rank of: 'Oberscharführer': they measure spproximately 12 cms. in length and do show some minimal age ie. staining simply caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage only. It should be noted that all 'cyphered' (ie. 'Hitlerjugend') shoulderstraps can easily be graded 'scarce' even more so when they are of the desirable early-pattern!
