Stunning - exceedingly rarely encountered and truly worn! - example of a WH (Heeres) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Brandenburg' (being a neatly machine-embroidered example as specifically intended for EM- ie. NCO-usage)

This is a truly very attractive - clearly issued and/or worn and with certainty exceedingly rarely encountered! - full length example of a WH (Heeres) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Brandenburg' being a neatly machine-embroidered example (that was used from mid-1944 onwards) that was specifically intended for enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) usage (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere des Heeres') and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem most certainly issued- moderately worn- and/or carefully tunic-removed-), condition. The cuff-title - measures approximately 46 cms. in length and comes as recently found. The cuff-title - which does show some moderate (storage)age, wear and/or staining - is executed in the neat (ie. truly 'smooth-type'!) darker-green-coloured wool and shows the machine-embroidered (ie. 'Gothic'-styled) text: 'Brandenburg' as executed in greyish-white-coloured linnen as to be expected: as such does it (I deem) deal with a typical EM/NCO-type example that was intended for non-commisioned-staff ie. being an: 'Ausführung für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere'. The 'Brandenburg-Division' was generally subordinated to the various army groups in individual commands and operated throughout Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Caucasus. In the later course of the war, parts of the special unit were used in 'Bandenbekämpfung'-operations against partisans in Yugoslavia before the division was reclassified and merged into one of the 'Panzergrenadier-Divisions' in the last months of the war. Some of its members committed various atrocities in the course of their operations. Simply a very attractive and naturally 100% genuine, period example that will be hard to be upgraded and that is I deem priced according to its obvious rarity and/or desirability: one of the most rarely encountered TR-cuff-titles that misses in most collections!
