Neat - albeit single - Waffen-SS, NCO-type (ie. tropical-style-) shoulderstrap as piped in the bright-green-coloured branchcolour, as was intended for usage by an NCO (ie. 'SS-Unterscharführer') who served within the: 'Waffen-SS Pz-Gren.-Truppen'

The attractive strap is of the more early-war-period, tropical-styled type (I deem that it can be dated around 1941/42) and has the 'standard'-pattern and/or: 'regular-shaped' tongue in place and shows the neat bright-green- (ie. 'wiesengrüner'-) coloured branchcolour and/or 'silk-like'-type branchcolour ie. piping attached: the strap is truly fully 'text-book' in all facets and will be hard to be upgraded. The shoulderstrap - which measures 11,8 cms. sized in length as more often encountered - shows the (typical) 'Waffen-SS'-styled-, field-grey-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'underlay' (as can be seen on the pictures). The strap shows some minimal age and/or staining simply caused by minimal wear and/or age. The strap shows the golden-yellowish-coloured NCO-braid attached (having a dual pair of black coloured lines in its centre) denoting that they were intended for usage by an NCO with the rank of: 'Unterscharfüher' (ie. junior-sergeant). These straps were often used on the typical tropical-styled so-called: 'Sahariana'-tunics (but saw with certainty also usage on the regular-type Waffen-SS-tunics). It should be noted that these original, period- Waffen-SS shoulderstraps can nowadays easily be graded 'scarce': even more so when they are piped in the less commonly encountered, bright-green-coloured- ie. 'SS-Panzer-Grenadiere'-related branchcolour: too bad that it is only a single example!
