Attractive - and clearly worn! - WH cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' (being a period-shortened example that comes in an overall nice- ie. issued and clearly worn ie. once tunic-attached, condition)

The attractive cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') comes in a truly worn and/or once-tunic-attached- (and period- minimally shortened!) condition: it measures approximately 39,5 cms. and was clearly once worn and/or carefully tunic-removed: it clearly shows wear, age and/or staining: it also misses some of it silverish-grey-coloured piping (as can be noticed on the pictures). Both ends show some normal fraying as is more often encountered and the piece still shows some minimal stitching-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). The armband shows some obvious age, wear and staining and was stored as such for decades. The cuff-title is executed in the (typical) neat (ie. 'smooth-type'-) beige-brownish-coloured, so-called: 'Kamelhaar' (camel hair) as is more often encountered. It should be stated that these 'Afrika'-cuff-titles are not to be regarded as commemorative cuff-titles (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but were regarded as official awards that needed official recognition (and entries in both 'Soldbuch' and/or: 'Wehrpass'). The attractive piece was recently uncovered in Germany and was never before part of any collection. Simply an attractive and most certainly issued- and/or worn example that clearly shows lots of character and that is priced according to its somewhat 'relic condition'!
