6-strand bordered cuff titles?

[Bob Hritz]

I have seen the following 6 strand cuff titles that I believe are wartime made:

Adolf Hitler, Das Reich, Totenkopf (spelled out), Deutschland (Latin block letters), Der Fuhrer (Latin block letters), Prinz Eugen, Reinhard Heydrich.

I am sure there are more.

Very good that this is finally being openly discussed . . . thanks to all who continue to do so openly, informatively, and with such warranted conviction.

Jim- if you look closely you will see that yours is a 6/5 strand border, as opposed to a straight 6...

that is exaclty correct..............
here is a photo taken when Jason Burmiester turned the stuff up from the Vet, he brought it all to a OVMS Show in a large suitcase , walked up to my table and dumped the entire contents out all over the table in front of me without saying a word, this is only about 50% of what he had, Steve Wolff looks at me and says " he has almost every rare cufftitle you can think of" some cufftitles not shown in photo,
San-Abt. SS-Ha and SS-hpt- Reiterschule Munchen to name a few and also a large about of Political insignia and gorgets etc., a lot of this haul had #21 tags and the 5-6 borders, in the years I have collected this haul was by far item by item really "the rarest of the rare" at the time I told him he better get some photos taken of the stuff as it is really a significant part of history, and all documented to one VET, and One Store in Germany, this ain't Dachau stuff but from a NSDAP outlet store, can you imagine what that store must have looked like ? glad it was 1990 when he sold this haul and not today . Parts of this grouping nowresides in the collections of Hritz , Delich, Bias and Dr.Stranglove collections to name a few, certainly fond memories and I hope more to come

I am always getting trauamtized when I see anywhere these cufftitles from Jason. For sure the best find for a cloth collector. Like a hit in a lotterie, but trust me even when the chances are close to zero chances are always there and I bet there is even more out these days in some unknown drawers.
