Hi Alex,

I like what I see so far. Post some pictures of the reverse stitching.

Hello Alex, Legion Condor is an interesting group with several RK winners. You might try searching on the "uniforms and insignia" forum for some examples. I have done the search a long time ago. Here is an officer grade that I believe to be a good one for comparison.

It looks really good, the only thing i wondered was the "L". Every cuff title i have seen has a "L" like your example. In comparison with my "L" it looks really different. Maybe 2 designs ?

Here is another Legion Condor cuff title with a different style of lettering.

I cannot find anything wrong with it.

I have not seen that type of 'L' design before but that doesn't make it bad. From those photos it looks good. I would like to see a close up of the letters and the thread if possible. There are a number of different designs for the fallschirm-jager cufftitles. You can see 3 different types of L.C. C/titles on page 129 of Gordon Williamson's book, 'German Military Cuffbands' and one in Bender's book 'Legion Condor'.
Here is a link to mine which, for some reason does not come up in the search function.

Hi Alex

I agree with the others that those like Ron's and Andrew's examples (with the thicker cord stitching) are usually associated with senior NCOs (or could perhaps be private purchase high-quality items). I only have the officers' bullion example below. The 'plain 'L' is not a variation I can find in any reference book in my library but I am no expert in this area.
