Pair of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Luftwaffe) NCO-type shoulderstraps: 'Unterwachtmeister des Festungs-Flakartillerie-Abtlgs o. Rgts. 32'

This is a truly attractive - fully matching and actually very scarcely seen! - pair of (I deem) pre-war-period and neatly 'cyphered', WH (Luftwaffe) NCO-type shoulderstraps as piped in the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour as was specifically intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Festungs-Flakartillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments 32' (or: junior-sergeant who served within a specific fortress-anti-aircraft-unit, numbered: '32') and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. moderately worn- ie. clearly used- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The neat shoulderstraps - which measure approximately 11,8 cms. in length each - show the bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured branchcolour and have the woolen-type piping attached (as can be seen on the pictures). The straps that came without tongues were clearly used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-pattern (I deem that they were once attached to a so-called: 'Viertaschenrock'). They show - next to the 'standard'-pattern, silver-toned LW- ie. dotted-pattern NCO-braid - a pair of 'Gothic'-styled so-called: 'F'-cyphers (ie. 'Ziffern') and dito '3'- and/or '2'-numerals attached (which are executed in neat 'Kurbelstickerei' as to be expected) denoting that the pair was intended for usage by an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Festungs-Flakartillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments 32'. The straps show some clear age, wear and/or staining and show some piping-damage on one of the straps (as can be noticed on the pictures). This pair - that came with a set of blue-coloured tunic-buttons attached -originated from a larger cloth- and insignia-collection that I recently acquired for the web-site: it should, moreover, be noted that all 'cyphered' LW-straps are truly very hard to find. Simply a great occasion to acquire an attractive - and rarely seen! - NCO-type, LW-shoulderstrap-pair that was intended for an: 'Unterwachtmeister des Festungs-Flakartillerie-Abteilungs o. Regiments 32'!
