Single, WH (Heeres) 'M41- o. M43'-pattern, NCO-type shoulderstrap: 'Uffz. eines Nebelwerfer-Abtlgs.'
This is neat - albeit regrettably single! - WH (Heeres) NCO- (ie. 'M41- o. M43'-) pattern shoulderstrap as piped in the (desirable!) darker-purple- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured branchcolour as was intended for usage by an NCO (ie. 'Unteroffizier' (or: junior-sergeant) who served within a: 'Heeres Nebelwerfer-Abteilung' (or: army smoke-troops unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used ie. worn- and/or most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The neat strap is just moderately used and/or worn and does show some minimal wear, age and/or staining but is void of any (real) damage or alike: just some minimal moth-damage is noticable (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap shows the desirable darker-purple- (ie. 'bordeaux-roter'-) coloured- and/or woolen-type piping attached and measures approximately 11,6 cms. in length. The piece shows the 'standard'-pattern (ie. somewhat sub-dued) silverish-coloured, NCO-braid period-attached and comes mounted onto its functional tongue (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap is constructed from the typical field-grey-coloured wool and is with certainty a: 'standard-issued'- (ie. non-tailor-made) piece. These type of shoulderstraps are of the typical (early- ie. mid-)war-period pattern straps and were worn in the period around 1941/1943 (and were 'worn-out' even during the rest of the war). This particular strap originated from a larger cloth- ie. shoulderstrap-collection I recently acquired for the web-site. Simply an attractive - and with certainty desirable! - 'Nebelwerfer'-related NCO-type 'Heeres' shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
