Attractive, WH (LW o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' (being a full-length example that comes in an issued-, used and/or carefully tunic-removed, condition)

This is an attractive - and/or fully 'textbook'! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe o. Heeres) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' being a full-length example that comes in an issued-, used and (I deem) carefully tunic-removed, condition. The cuff-title comes in a full-length- (ie. absolutely non-shortened) condition (and measures approximately 44 cms. as to be expected). Both ends show some minimal fraying and its ends were never 'stitched together' (as can be seen on the pictures). The cuff-title is executed in the (typical) neat (ie. 'smooth- ie. felt-type') beige-brownish-coloured wool 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 noticed 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 will be very hard to be upgraded and that is priced according to its truly untouched condition!
