Hi guys, here is a recent addition which came with a nice Heer Honour Roll Clasp, a rare Infanterie Regiment List cuff. It is actually really dark green which is almost black. UV negative and 18 inches long.
The Russian braid is lovely and detailed, the cuff appears unworn or lightly worn but has a few storage creases.
The background is that Hitler served in WW1 in the 16th Royal Bavarian Reserve Regiment "List", in 1935 elements of the Wermachts Infantry Regt 19 were chosen to carry on with the traditions of the regiment. There were a number of changes to this regiment after heavy losses and the "List" tradition was transferred to Grenadier Regiment 199 which was given the honour of being granted the authority to wear this cuff band.
Being issued only at regimental rather than divisional level makes this one of the rarest distinctive unit cuffbands from the TR period.
Any comments/opinions are welcome.
Cheers - Greg
