Bill, there is NO question at all of the authenticity of your tunic. Genuine! But, the fabric is far less encountered than twill and I am very surprised no one commented on it. This fabric is covered in my upcoming book. Stellar tunic!

Fine Zf14S Mark! Here is all the can for you.
Regards,
John

Hello John, thank you very much for your compliment. I also thought the fabric to be different. I still cant tell for sure what the faded stamp says completely. I look forwards to your book. Best, Bill Bourque

I hope this is the right place for this question: Did anybody ever heard of a cufftitle "Deutsches Afrikakorps"? If so, was it an official one?

[milcollector]

no, never heard of it, and never seen one.

Yes,

I never believed it but I have a photo now with a man with this cuff from a collector friend on my pc. I ask him if I can post it.

Thats the reason why I have raised the question:

Bill that is a lovely vet bring back belt, I am on the look out for a nice Luftwaffe example,

also the picture with the deutches afrika-korp cufftitle is very interesting, I have never seen one before, I wonder what the story is behind this?

Hi,

Here's a nice 2nd pattern DAK tunic with early DAK Pio. e.m.'s & loops for three awards. (EKI, combat award and wound badge - judging by their placement.) I found some nice, early & faded Pio. e.m.'s boards to go with it. Also, got a nice, faded pair of 43' dated straight leg pants for display. The pants have extra material at shin or tropical boot top level. Looks great!

I recently had the tunic cleaned a it was very dusty and I believe that dirt contributes to the fabric's decay. Am having all DAK fabrics cleaned for preservation sake.

Enjoy the photos.
