Single, WH (Heeres) 'tropical' EM-type shoulderstrap: 'Soldat der Panzer-Truppen'
This is a truly attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless truly rarely encountered! - (I deem) early-pattern, WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-related!), enlisted-mens'-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and with certainty worn by! - a: 'Soldat der Panzer-Truppen' (or: simple doldier who served within an army, tank ie. Panzer-related regiment or unit) and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly used- and or obviously worn- and minimally damaged-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 11 cms. in length - has the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) 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 comes in a fully 'text-book' condition and has a 'greenish-brown'- ie. tan-coloured and/or linnen-based 'upperdeck'. The strap is also 'backed' with field-grey-coloured wool, something that is more often encountered with genuine, tropical ie. DAK- (or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related shoulderstraps. The strap was clearly worn and does show (as mentioned above) a damaged area within the piping. 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 regrettably 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 rarely encountered! - tropical-pattern, 'Panzer'-related EM-type shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
