This is an attractive - and clearly issued and/or worn ie. most certainly once tunic-attached! - example of the typical 'BeVo'-like cuff-title (or: 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrikakorps' as was executed in so-called: 'flat-wire'-type, silver-coloured 'braid' as interwoven on a rust-brown- (ie. darker-green) coloured background and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. clearly worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The piece is as stated above just minimally shortened and measures approximately 30 cms. in length (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece comes in a still sewn-together condition and still shows some minimal stitching-remains with which it was once tunic-attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). This example was stored as such for years by the veteran to whom it was issued and/or used. Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this neat example came with a linnen-based (RAD- ie. 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'-related) tunic- ie. equipment 'tag' (that shows the rank and name: 'Vormann Risse, Wilhelm 2/214' (being most certainly the name of the soldier who wore this cuff-title and stored it for decades: both items were recently found together at a German private-household. As most certainly known are these 'Afrikakorps'-cuff-titles copied at a large scale: this is naturally a 100% original item that shows the various details as such (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece was never cleaned and shows some age and/or staining simply caused by decades of storage and/or moderate wear: it was never part of a collection before and came as such from a private-household in Germany. Simply a very attractive - and truly worn and/or carefully tunic-removed! - example of this desirable 'BeVo'-like 'Afrikakorps'-cuff-title!
