AFRIKAKORPS cuff title

[NickG]

Not very good images I'm afraid.... but for the pros maybe sufficient...
does this one stand a chance? (I have my doubts)
Thanks

I like it. I have had several with that fat style aluminum wire. Seems that it has been clipped or cut as it should be tacked to the band at several spots (usually about every 2 inches or 3 inches) I would like to see a better shot of the weave but it has a damn good chance. Matt

David,

why do you not think its legit? I have handled more than my fair share of these. Matt

On the reverse on the fakes, the inner hole of the "O" has a diamond weave; on the originals the inner hole of the "O" is rounded , & not a diamond. I like it & believe it's an original.

Hi Nick

Been looking at this one for a few minutes now. Looks ok in that several tells are not visable. But how are the triangles in the A's ? Should be perfect if original. No Tartan weave on the reverse is a good sigh too. Overall the reverse looks good and the obverse is just too hard to tell from the photo.
So its probably good but would want better pics to be sure...

Agree with Matt & tim, need better picks if possible to be certain either way, though as Silesien said, the shape of the O is a good sign. Also, the R & P holes appear, from the front, to be of different sizes, which is another sign of a good one.

From the new pictures provided, it is an original cuff title IMO.
It would be helpful to see pictures of the O. But all appears in order.

Hi David, This is a different cufftitle posted in error and has since been posted in a seperate thread. It confused me as well when it first appeared, though the the white blobs were not on the thread starter.

Matt, that is a good question. Poor judgement on my part. From the photos I should have taken the middle.
After reexamining the reverse side it is most likely an original.
