[Scott C.]

...am I missing any? If so, which ones?

Thanks!

Great display Scott, I wish I had a collection of cuff titles like yours. Excellent you have good tastes

[Marc Sherriff]

Very nice, they all come in both silver wire and cotton, 'Steinhoff' although it came in during 1997 is not listed in the regulations. Also the 'Fliegerhorstpolizie' is a USA issue item not a Luftwaffe one.

Marc, can you elaborate on this - I'm a bit ignorant on these things.

Thanks.

The wing also comes in cotton and woven.

Thanks Mark. I checked some of the other pages on that site, and my poor German reading comprehension isn't good enough to tell what time period the 'Fliegerhorstpolizie' cuff title was used (the English translation page wouldn't load for me). Can you decipher it?

Scott,

great collection!

"Steinhoff" cuff title is in use since 1997 when JG 73 got the traditional name (actually it is the cuff title attached to my own blue dress as I belong to this wing since 1995) but as already stated here the "Fliegerhorstpolizei" cuff band has nothing to do with the Luftwaffe.

Best wishes,
Steve

Sorry I have not found a date for the 'Fliegerhorstpolizie' title.

Although the 'Steinhoff' is in use it is not listed in ZDv 37/10, which to me is odd.
