Single, WH (Heeres) 'tropical' NCO-type shoulderstrap: 'Unteroffizier der Panzer-Truppen'
This is a truly very attractive - albeit regrettably single but nevertheless very rarely encountered! - (I deem) early-pattern, WH (Heeres) 'tropical' (ie. I deem truly DAK- or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-related!), NCO-type shoulderstrap as was piped in the neat bright-pink- (ie. 'rosaroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for - and with certainty worn by! - an: 'Unteroffizier der Panzer-Truppen' (or: NCO ie. junior-sergeant who served within an army, tank ie. Panzer-related regiment or unit) and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit clearly used- and or obviously worn-), condition. The neat shoulderstrap - which measures approximately 10,9 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 'beige-brown'- ie. tan-coloured and/or linnen-based 'upperdeck' (which is clearly sun-faded by obvious usage!). The strap is also 'backed' with brownish-coloured wool, something that is more often encountered with genuine early-pattern, tropical ie. DAK- (or 'Deutsches Afrikakorps'-) related shoulderstraps. The strap - which shows the mustard-yellow-coloured (tropical) NCO-braid - is I deem clearly worn 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 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 very rarely encountered! - tropical-pattern, 'Panzer'-related NCO-type shoulderstrap: too bad that it is only a single specimen!
