Hi Rob, where do you have seen this Metz CT?
You can write me via PM if you prefere.
This is IMO the best CT you can find. Only 1 or 2 are known.

Is this not the same (or similar) cuff band posted by FrenchVolunteer here in post #44….

That's a very nice "Metz 1944" cuff title you have there Rob.

I haven't seen one of those since 1979, when I traded mine
for a beautiful 'Gold' Single-Handed Tank Destruction Strip.

Same pattern with the alphabet & numerals. I even phoned
J.R. Angolia & asked him why his "Metz" didn't have the
'FEET' on the '4's on the title in his book.

Excellent find!

Ron.

There are 3 different types (+ 1 sub type) of this cufftitle.
Here a quick comparison I already posted in the past:

And here a preview of the chapter about the Metz cufftitle that was published a couple of years ago on magazine (and maybe in a book in the future...).
I think it could be very interesting for those interested by this cufftitle and its background.
