Superb - albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS, 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstrap as piped in the bright-red-coloured branchcolour as intended for usage by an: 'SS-Hauptscharführer' who served within the: 'SS-Flak-Artillerie-Truppen'

This is a very attractive - and I deem just minimally worn albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS, neatly 'cyphered' NCO-type shoulderstrap that shows the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or typical 'silk-like'-type piping attached and was as such worn by an NCO holding the rank of: 'SS-Hauptscharführer' (ie. sergeant first-class) who served within the: 'SS-Flak-Artillerie-Truppen' (or: anti-aircraft-artillery-troops). The strap is in all facets a fully 'text-book'-SS-NCO-strap and does show the obvious 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 moderate wear and/or usage. The strap shows the typical Waffen-SS-pattern- (and/or: smaller-shaped!) tongue attached (as only observed on genuine Waffen-SS-pattern straps) 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 two (aluminum-based, regular-sized) pips period-attached denoting that it was used by an NCO holding the rank of an: 'Hauptscharführer' (or: sergeant first-class). Moreover, does the strap show a rarely seen (regular-sized, aluminium-based) so-called: 'FL'-cypher (ie. 'Ziffer') period-attached. 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 'cyphered' NCO-type and piped in the not that commonly encountered, bright-red-coloured- (ie. 'SS-(Flak)Artillerie-Truppen'-) related branchcolour. I deem that this attractive and fully textbook Waffen-SS NCO-type shoulderstrap is with certainty accordingly priced: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
