Truly used- and carefully tunic-removed, WH (Heeres) 'Ärmelstreifen für Offiziere' entitled: 'Grossdeutschland'

This is a truly attractive - truly used- and carefully tunic-removed and actually not that often seen! - I deem full-length (and most certainly once tunic-attached and clearly worn!) example of a WH (Heeres) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Grossdeutschland' being a neatly hand-embroidered 'standard-issue'-pattern example (of I deem the first pattern that was used throughout the war) that was specifically intended for officers'- (ie. evt. NCO-) usage (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen für Offiziere') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. most certainly issued- and/or clearly worn- ie. once-tunic-attached-), condition. The (I deem hardly- ie. non-shortened) cuff-title measures approximately 39 cms. in length and comes as recently found. The cuff-title - which does show some moderate age, obvious wear and/or staining - is executed onto black-coloured 'smooth-like'-type wool and shows the (very nicely!) hand-embroidered (ie. 'Schreibschrift'-styled) text entitled: 'Grossdeutschland' as executed in silverish-coloured braid as to be expected: as such does it deal with a typical example of the first-pattern that was intended for commisioned-staff ie. being an: 'Ausführung für Offiziere'. Both ends do show some obvious fraying and usage and does show some minimal staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The band still shows some of its thread- (ie. stitching-) remains with which it was once tunic-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and naturally 100% genuine, period example! - that really shows character and that is priced according to its obvious scarcity and/or desirability!
