Luftwaffe OberFeldwebel's Flight/Paratrooper shoulder straps
Nice pair of Luftwaffe 'Flight/Paratrooper' shoulder straps as intended for a OberFeldwebel. The shoulder-straps are having the yellow branch-colour ('silk-like') piping indicating the ' 'Flieger- /Fallschirmjäger-Truppen' (Flight/Paratrooper) '.
Excellent condition, no damages.
First picture is a scan, the other are daylight.
These are in our opinion extra interesting. These have been rather crudely field upgraded from a NCO grade to Oberfeldwebel. You can see that the tresse from another shoulder board has been used. Also the upper rank pips are not standard. So we are very confident that these have been updated in the field and there was a lack of the correct material.
These have never before been on the marked, directly from a picker friend in Germany.
Although we certainly don't recommend it you can easily removed both the pips and the tresse and you will have a textbook pair of NCO straps.
Hard to find!
