What rank is this SS collar tab?

[honest abe]

I found this SS collar tab in a box of WWII relics. It has bullion piping. I can't seem to find the rank this represents. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for helping.

Doesn't the aluminum piping around a Hauptscharfuhrer (approximately a US master sergeant) tab indicate a Standartenoberjuncker (Officer candidate)?

It's an SS-Junker rank tab ... trainee officers from the Junkerschulen had intermediate ranks. This is for SS-Standartenoberjunker if I remember correctly.
