Attractive, WH (LW o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' (being a period-shortened- and woolen-based example that comes in a clearly issued- and/or worn condition)

This is an attractive - albeit clearly worn- and period-shortened! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' being an example that was clearly issued- and most certainly worn. The cuff-title comes in a typical period-shortened condition (and measures now approximately 37 cms. as more often seen). Both ends are void of any fraying and were clearly 'cut-off' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cuff-title is executed in the (typical) 'smooth-type'- and beige-brownish-coloured 'felt-like' wool (ie. 'Kamelhaar') 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 a very attractive and naturally genuine, period example that is priced according to its minimally shortened- and truly worn condition!
