Superb - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless still rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. I deem mid- ie. later-war-period!) NCO-type shoulderstrap as was intended for a: 'Feldwebel der Pionier-Truppen'

This is a truly very attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless rarely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. I deem somewhat later ie. mid-war-period ie. DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-related), NCO-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the neat black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and with certainty worn by! - a: 'Feldwebel der Pionier-Truppen' (or: sergeant who served within an army engineers-regiment or unit) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. slightly worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 11,2 cms. in length - has the neat black- (ie. 'schwarzer'-) coloured and/or desirable 'silk-like'-type piping attached and comes mounted onto its functional tongue as issued and/or most certainly worn. The strap is in a fully 'text-book' condition and has a 'earthen-brown'- ie. mustard-tan-coloured and/or (smooth) linnen-based 'upperdeck'. The strap is 'backed' with field-grey-coloured wool, something that is more often encountered with genuine, later-war-period, tropical ie. DAK- (or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related shoulderstraps. The strap which shows the mustard-yellow-coloured NCO-braid and single (zinc-based) pip period-attached - is I deem only minimally worn (it is not faded bust just slightly stained caused by regular usage) and comes in a truly great condition, overall. It has never been cleaned and still shows some dirt ie. staining as caused by years of storage. As most certainly known are most DAK-shoulderboards offered on todays' market copies: this is naturally a fine and 100% genuine, period piece for which I give a life-time garuantee (as always). Simply a superb - and as most certainly known very rarely encountered! - tropical-pattern, 'Pioniere'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
