Attractive - and scarcely found! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Legion Condor' (being a hand-embroidered officers'-pattern example that comes in a truly worn and/or tunic-removed, condition)

This is a truly attractive - and actually scarcely found! - example of a WH (Luftwaffe) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Legion Condor' being a typical, hand-embroidered officers'-pattern example that comes in a clearly issued- ie. worn- and/or period-shortened- ie. carefully tunic-removed-, condition. The armband comes - as stated above - in a somewhat shortened condition and was clearly used as such (ie. it measures folded now approximately 37 cms. in length). Both ends are unfinished as is more often encountered (as can be seen on the pictures). The armband - which originates from a private household in Germany where it was recently uncovered - shows moderate age, wear and or staining and was as such most certainly issued- and/or stored as such for decades: it still shows some of it stitching-remains with which it was once tunic-attached (as can be noticed on the pictures). The cuff-title is executed in darker-blue-coloured wool and shows the (very detailed!) hand-embroidered title in bright-silver-coloured 'braid' as is more often encountered: as such does it show the great crafmenship employed in the days. It deals with a typical example that was intended for mere officers'-usage: 'Ausführung für Offiziere'. Simply a very attractive - and naturally genuine, period! - example that was issued to a pilot serving in a famous 'LW-unit' and that is priced according to its overall nicely preserved and/or fully untouched, condition!
