Single, Waffen-SS NCO-type shoulderstrap: 'SS-Unterscharführer u. Führer-Anwarter' who served within the: 'SS-Infanterie-Truppen'

This attractive - and I deem just moderately worn, albeit regrettably single! - Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap shows the neat white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour and/or typical 'silk-like'-type piping attached and was as such worn by an SS-member holding the rank of an: 'SS-Unterscharführer u. Führer-Anwarter' who served within the: 'SS-Infanterie-Truppen' (or: junior-sergeant and officers-candidate who served within the SS-infantry-troops). The strap - that shows the 'standard-issue'-pattern, bluish-toned (ie. sub-dued) NCO-braid attached - is in all facets a fully 'text-book' and (I deem) mid- war- ie. somewhat later-period SS-strap and does show the moderate 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 moderate age and or staining simply caused by moderate wear and/or usage. The strap shows a (typical) thinner-shaped tongue attached (as observed on genuine Waffen-SS-pattern straps!) and does show a field-grey-coloured and woolen-based underlay (as can be noticed on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this specimen shows a (double) stripe of (dotted-pattern, silver-toned) NCO-braid (ie. 'Lasche') period- (and firmly!) attached denoting that the soldier who wore this piece held the rank ie. function of an: 'SS-Unterscharführer u. Führer-Anwarter'. It should be noted that these original, period Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstraps can nowadays easily be graded 'scarce': even more so when they are piped in the not that commonly encountered, white-coloured- (ie. 'SS-Infanterie-Truppen'-related-) branchcolour. I deem that this attractive and textbook Waffen-SS, NCO-type shoulderstrap is accordingly priced!
