Superb - albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap as piped in the bright-green-coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'SS-Oberscharführer' who served within the: 'SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen'

This is a very attractive - and I deem just minimally worn albeit regrettably single! - somewhat early-war-pattern (I deem around 1941/42) Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap that shows the neat bright-green- (ie. 'hell- o. wiesengrüner'-) coloured branchcolour and/or typical 'silk-like'-type piping attached and was as such worn by an NCO holding the rank of: 'SS-Oberscharführer der Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen' (or: sergeant who served within the the infantry-related rifle-troops). The strap is in all facets a fully 'text-book'-SS-NCO-strap and does show the minimal signs of having been used and/or worn as such. The shoulderstrap - that measures approx. 11 cms. sized in length as more often encountered - shows some minimal age simply caused by wear and/or usage. The strap shows a regular-shaped tongue attached and also shows the field-grey-coloured 'underlay' (as can be noticed on the pictures). It shows the typical, silverish-grey-coloured (ie. non-sub-dued) NCO-braid and single (regular-sized, 'Buntmetall'-based) pip period-attached denoting that it was used by an NCO holding the rank of: 'Oberscharführer' (or: sergeant). It should be noted that these original, period Waffen-SS-shoulderstraps can nowadays easily be graded 'scarce': even more so when they are of the NCO-type and piped in the not that commonly encountered, bright-green-coloured- (ie. 'SS- Panzer-Grenadier-Truppen'-) related branchcolour. I deem that this attractive and textbook Waffen-SS NCO-type shoulderstrap is with certainty accordingly priced: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
