Hi,
Could anybody comment this one?

Thanks

What is all that extra material above and below the borders? Those borders are usually very close to the top and bottom edges.

It does have some semblence to the 2nd pattern rzm type regarding the letters and borders but, as previously mentioned, that is a lot of 'extra' black showing on the outer edges.

[Bobwirtz]

When I first saw it I thought it was still sewn on to some piece of black sleeve, like a panzer jacket, but not if you can see the back of it.

Original and one I would love to own.

Then buy it as it for sale since years and it is not the first time it shows up on a forum and was getting already replied from you Bob once on this very old post on the WAF or the GDM. Now with 30% discount as you might already know.

[Bob Hritz]

Robert,

It is only the price that is stopping me. The exchange rate is too poor and the price of $2750, even with 30% is just too much.

Is it really a late war RZM version, I suggest it as an early title.
Are references known for this title style? Would look good on an ealry wrap over when I am not wrong with it.

[Bob Hritz]

I believe it is the final pattern of RZM cuff title. The band is a blank, in the BeVo-like weave, and the letters are machine sewn. The Latin lettering is that of later titles.

I have seen a few others, over the years, and they always were difficult to market, because of the unusual pattern.

It is a a very nice title. Perhaps I am just jaded because of the sudden explosive price increases of SS cloth insignia.

Latin styled lettering was ordered in December 1939 although it continued to be manufactured. Why so much material above and below the borders? That is the unusual thing to me... lettering looks good and so do the materials... but that extra material...

Yes, to me the outer edges look very similar to those of the Bevo Skanderbeg, Wiking, Feldgendarmerie, etc.
