Waffen-SS, 1943/44 pattern cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') depicting the machine-woven Latin script text in silver-grey linnen as was intended for a member of the: 'SS-Regiment': "Westland" (ie. part of the: '5. SS-Pz-Gren.-Div. "Wiking")

This is a very attractive - and naturally 100% genuine albeit - I deem - never worn ie. 'virtually mint'! - Waffen-SS, 1943/44 pattern cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') depicting the machine-woven Latin script-text in silver-grey linnen, as was specifically intended for usage by a member (ie. possibly a European volunteer!) serving within the: 'SS-Regiment': "Westland" (being a regiment within the '5. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Wiking") and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'-), condition. The still full-length cuff-title (that measures approx. 48/49 cms.) has the typical 'salt and pepper'-reverse and shows all details of an original, period specimen. This band was most certainly produced by the 'Bandfabrik Ewald Vorsteher' (ie. 'BeVo') in Wuppertal and also shows the interwoven company-name on one of its ends (something that is most certainly not always the case). This cuff-title is a 100% text-book- (and as stated above) original example that originates from a US-veteran who 'liberated' this piece in 1945. The piece shows some truly minimal storage-age ie. staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a great opportunity to acquire a very attractive and actually not that easily encountered, Waffen-SS 'BeVo'-type cuff-title for a competitive price!
