Newest addition AFRIKAKORPS cuff title

[afrikasandman]

K guys normally im quick to judge these but im in a bit of a pickle with this one.. So I bought it off the dreaded Egay for a decent price, but I have never seen on that has so many little lines by the letters. Im pretty sure its a solid one, and if not im out just a little money. Im just torn on this, im leaning towards good but I didn't get stellar pics of the weave. So guys/gals please calm my mind either way on this one. If she is good it was a sweet 112 dollar victory and if not well could be a hell of a lot worse. Matt

She has some of the features that I look for, but its the back lines that are just throwing me for a loop. You will see what I mean in a minute. Nice full lenght one though!

Little bit of wear and oxidation to the front.

Back shot, you can see the green style lines on the back... my concern. Look forward to your opinions. Matt

Hi Matt,

I am not an expert here but, I think it's a good one. I'll post a parge PIC of mine and IMO, the reverse looks the same. Maybe I am missing something?

Need more PICS, let me know.

A little different angle and closer for you; hope that helps.

Hi Matt

Agree, Your's is a nice early olive example. Tim's mint tan one is a later one.
Here is the reverse of another early one that was worn on a tunic...
Nice addition Matt

Thanks for chiming in guys! I was a little worried, I have never encountered one quite like the back of this one. I was pretty sure the weave was right and that tell tale signs in the lettering were there but had never seen one with so many vertical lines. So sweet score of egay for the money Sometimes you gotta take the chance! Again, thanks for the comments guys, truely appreciated. Matt

Hi Matt,
I'm a little late but, I thought if you were worried it deserved a close look. I went through my info photos, looked at mine, looked at others and I could not find anything wrong with it either. It stood on it's own as to all the good characteristics one would see.
Great price.

[afrikasandman]

Thanks guys, I was pretty sure it was a solid one but you know how ebay gets with these kinds of items and pics weren't stellar. But Glad to have snagged it up, not that I really need any more of these but when the price is right im still buying Gonna go into a framed display when I get back. Thanks for the kind words guys!
