Attractive - and clearly worn- ie. relic! - WH cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Afrika' (being a almost non-shortened example that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. issued and clearly worn ie. once tunic-attached-), condition)

The attractive WH (Heeres etc.) cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') comes in a truly worn and/or clearly once-tunic-attached- ie. relic- (albeit almost full-length ie. minimally shortened), condition: it measures now approximately 40 cms. and was clearly once worn and/or carefully tunic-removed (as can be noticed on the pictures). Both ends show some normal fraying as is more often encountered and the piece still shows some minimal stitching-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). The armband shows obvious age, wear and staining (and misses some of its piping ie. braid as can be noticed) and was stored as such for decades. The cuff-title is executed in the (typical) neat (ie. 'smooth-type'-) beige-brownish-coloured, so-called: 'Kamelhaar' (camel hair) as is more often encountered. 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'). The attractive and 'truly been there' piece was recently uncovered in Germany and was never before part of any collection. Simply a very attractive and most certainly issued- and/or worn example that clearly shows lots of character!
