Pair of (early-war-period ie. truly 'DAK'-related!) WH (Heeres) NCO-type, 'tropical-pattern' shoulderstraps: 'Fwbl. der Art.-Truppen'

This is a truly very attractive - fully matching and actually very rarely encountered! - pair of truly early-war-period (ie. most certainly typical 'DAK'- or: 'Deutsches Afrika Korps'-related) pair of WH (Heeres) NCO-type, 'standard-issued'- and typical 'tropical'-pattern shoulderstraps (ie. 'Schulterstücke für Heeres-Tropenuniform') as piped in the neat bright-red (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and most certainly worn by! - a: 'Feldwebel der Artillerie-Truppen' (or: NCO ie. sergenat who served within the army artillery-troops) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit just moderately used ie. clearly worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which are as stated above fully matching in execution and/or style - measure approximately 11,6 cms. in length each. Both straps have the typical brownish-green- (ie. tropical!) coloured and/or woolen-based, 'upperdecks' (and dito-coloured woolen 'backings'- and/or: tongues as is more often encountered) and have the neat and desirable bright-red (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or woolen-type piping and silverish-toned NCO-braid, period-attached. Moreover, does the pair shows two (non-matching but surely period-attached) pips denoting the NCOs-rank of a: 'Feldwebel' (ie. sergeant). The pair comes mounted onto its functional tongues and comes as most certainly worn and/or stored as such for decades. The pair was recently found at a private-household and was never before in a collection. The neat pair was always together and was most certainly worn as such: it came with a neat WH (Heeres) 'tropical-styled'- (and equally early-pattern!) trade- and/or special-career insignia (or: 'Signal Blitz') and will also be sold as such. The set is just a tiny bit dirty ie. stained and shows the clear evidence of having been moderately used and/or worn (it has minimally been faded due to obvious sunlight and does show some minimal staining). It should be noted that all (genuine!) tropical- ie. 'DAK'-related- shoulderstraps are very hard to encounter and can easily be graded 'very rare': most of the pairs offered today are regrettably copies. I am aware of the fact that this insignia-set is highly priced something that is most certainly according to its unmistaken rarity and/or desirability!
