WH (LW o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' (being an example that comes in a presumably issued- albeit simply never used- ie. 'virtually mint' condition)

This is an attractive - and/or fully 'textbook'! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' being an example that is presumably issued- but that was simply never used- nor tunic-attached- ie. that comes in a still 'virtually mint', condition. The cuff-title comes in a full-length- (ie. absolutely non-shortened) condition (and measures approximately 44 cms. as to be expected). Both ends show some minimal fraying and its ends were never 'stitched together' (as can be seen on the pictures). 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 just shows some minimal age ie. staining caused by decades of storage and handling over the years (as can be seen on the pictures). 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'). This example was recently found at a German private-household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive and naturally genuine, period example that is accordingly priced!
