SS flatwire embroidery???

[OnnoP]

Hello,
Can anybody tell me if there exists such a thing as SS officer's cuff titles that are basic RZM pattern, but with a flatwire type of weaving to the text? So I don't mean flatwire cuff titles that are entirely woven in a flatwire weave, but regular RZM pattern officer's cuff titles that don't have a text woven in bullion thread, but using silver thread in a flatwire type of weave? Many thanks in advnace for any input!

There are variants of the flatwire cuff titles. The only RZM bands, I can think of, with flatwore ,ettering are the Grenz-Polizei.

Attached are the 4 versions of flatwire reverses I know of. i don't have the flatwire Grenz-Polizer to add to the photo.

From the top are: Aufbauschule Nagold, Absolon, Prinz Eugen,
Nordland.

There are very attractive fakes with fine hand embroidered bullion, applied vertically and sewn down with fine silver-gray horizontal thread. This style was never produced during the Third Reich era.

Hello gentleman,

well thank you for your replies! I have been offered a Westland cuff title that has only the text woven in a silver thread flatwire weave and though it looks original as far as age and letter shape and positioning I will pass on it!
