WWII GERMAN SIGNALS EMS SHOULDER STRAPS
Second pattern, (Circa May 1940-May 1945), field-grey wool construction, slip on shoulder strap with lemon yellow rayon waffenfarbe piping. The bottom of the shoulder strap and the slip on retaining tongue are both in field-grey wool and the retaining tongue has a grey rayon reinforcement panel machine stitched to the bottom. The shoulder strap is in overall good condition with light to moderate age and usage toning and minor nap wear. Some staining.
SS TRANSPORT SHOULDER BOARDS
This is a truly nice and nowadays considered scarce, fully matching pair of Waffen-SS soldiers' type shoulderstraps, piped in light- (i.e. cornflower-) blue as intended for a soldier of a 'Nachshub' (transport') unit. Both straps have the (typical) small tongue only seen on SS-boards and have the 'silk-like' type piping: they are fully text-book. The pair shows almost no wear and slight fading IMO just caused by storage for decades. Simply a garuanteed original SS shoulderboards. It should be noted that original Waffen-SS boards are getting almost impossible to find. A very nice and desirable set!
