Truly worn and/or used pair of (early-war-period ie. truly 'DAK'-related!) WH (Heeres) NCO-type, 'tropical-pattern' shoulderstraps: 'Uffz. 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! - an: 'Unteroffizier der Artillerie-Truppen' (or: junior-NCO ie. sergeant 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 11,4 cms. in length each. Both straps have the typical brownish-tan- (ie. tropical!) coloured and/or linnen-based, 'upperdecks' (and typical earthen-green-coloured and woolen-based 'backings' as is more often encountered) and have the neat and desirable bright-red (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and/or woolen-type piping and yellowish-brown-toned (ie. typical tropical-styled!) NCO-braid, period-attached denoting the NCOs-rank of an: 'Unteroffizier' (ie. junior-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 part of a collection. The neat pair was always together and was most certainly worn as such: is just a tiny bit dirty ie. stained and shows the clear evidence of having been moderately used and/or worn (it has clearly been faded due to obvious sunlight as can clearly be noticed on the pictures). 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 or fakes. 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!
