Superb - albeit regrettably single albeit very rarely found! - early-pattern, typical white-piped 'NPEA'- (ie. 'Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten' or: 'NAPOLA') shoulderstrap for a student (ie. 'Hitlerjunge')

This is a very attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless truly very rarely encountered! - early-period- and typically white-piped, so-called: 'NPEA'- (ie. 'Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten' or: 'Napola') shoulderstraps as was specifically intended for usage by a student (ie. 'Hitlerjunge') who served within one of the: 'NPEA'- (ie. 'NAPOLA'-) institutes and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The strap - which is executed in the light-brown- (ie. tan-) coloured linnen having the white-embroidered 'NPEA'-characters and white-coloured- (and typical rayon-like) piping attached comes without a tongue as found: it was was most likely worn as a strap of the 'sew-in'-type as more often (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece misses its paper-based 'RzM'-etiket as more often. The strap does show some normal age and wear and does measure approximately 11 cms. in length as usually encountered. These interesting so-called: 'Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten' ie. 'NAPOLA' were National Political Institutes of Education (officially abbreviated as: 'NPEA', however, commonly abbreviated as: 'Napola' for 'Nationalpolitische Lehranstalt' meaning National Political Institution of Teaching) were secondary boarding-schools in TR-Germany. They were founded as 'community education sites' after the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933. Simply a very attractive - and most certainly very rarely encountered! - youth-related, early-pattern NPEA-shoulderstrap that is priced according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
