Kurland - cufftitle opinions please!

[Thomas Bendixen]

Hi Everyone

I have gotten this one offered to me and have spent some time reading through the posts here. From what I learned this one could be good but at the prices these go for a faker can put a lot of work into this.

I know that a collector is on his own when he reach this level of collecting. Anyway I would appriciate your educated opinions

Cheers Thomas

PS: Pics are not to good - field conditions

Hi Jens

PS: I have been offered this cufftitle for 500 Euro and Winkler charges 700 Euro I would bellieve that the collectors price would be 400 Euro - depending...

Cheers Thomas

Hi Thomas, no, I don't think you missed anything.

Go on, empty her wallet. So long as it does not then qualify you for a wound badge once she finds out

Cheers, Ade.

PS. I like the look of the title.
