Landwacht (Nederland) cufftitle

[NickG]

Strange one!! This is what the ad reads:
"100 % genuine and extremely rare cufftitle worn by Dutch LANDWACHT outfit. Letters are silver painted, which is normal for this cufftitle. Silver, 7-threaded stitch on both edges, RZM tag on reverse side. Approx 34 cm long"

Anybody heard of painted cuff titles? Sounds crazy to me or expedient measure?

Dear Nick,

IMHO this is a real Landwacht cuff!

Best regards,

I agree with Rene, nothing wrong with that one. They printed the text on some blank RZM cuff titles - probably in Holland. Here is the original version of this rare unit title.

Dear Cees,

The great pics for sale by Mario of the Werkdienst Holland are taken in the Alexander kazerne in The Hague, you can also see the other baracks aswell; Frederik Kazerne in background behind the gate on the other side of the road going to Scheveningen.

I was stationed there and recognize the buildings, nothing has changed!

The 'B' tag is correct for a blank RZM band.

Thank you Rene, but as far as I know, the 'Werkdienst Holland' (stationed in Ukraine) has nothing to do with the 'Deutsche Schutzgruppe'.

With all the best,

Cees
