Superb - and fully matching! - pair of Waffen-SS NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the white-coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an: 'SS-Unterscharführer' who served within the: 'Waffen-SS Infanterie-Truppen'
This is an attractive - truly very desirable, fully matching and nowadays scarcely found! - pair of Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstraps (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Unterführer der Waffen-SS') as piped in the white-coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'SS-Unterscharführer' (ie. junior-sergeant) who served within the: 'Waffen-SS Infanterie-Truppen' and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The shoulderstraps are constructed from the typical, black-coloured-wool and show the black-coloured 'upperdecks': the straps show in all facets a 'standard-issued- and (I deem) mid- (ie. later-) war-pattern-type pair. The shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 10,5 cms. sized in length each as more often encountered - show the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type branchcolour ie. piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps - which are 'backed' with field-grey-coloured wool as to be expected - come of course mounted onto their smaller-sized (and typical Waffen-SS-pattern!) tongues attached. The straps are totally void of any damage but does show some obvious wear, age and/or staining (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be noted that almost every collector is looking for these white-piped, Waffen-SS NCO-type-shoulderstraps but these are very hard to find and nowadays hardly ever offered for sale. The straps are as stated above only moderately used ie. worn. It should be noted that these original, period Waffen-SS NCO-type-shoulderstraps can easily be graded 'very scarce': even more so, when they are piped in the rarely encountered, white-coloured- (ie. 'SS-Infanterie-Truppen'-related-) branchcolour!
