Deutschland CT officer

[alexandre]

Hi to all,

Does anyone could say me if this one has a chance ?

[PMan]

Ct

Original example!

[Mike Davis]

Agreed, nice hand-embroidered example

[Felix]

Yes, very nice (even is short)
The bullion officer Deutschland is not so common.

Cheers

Thanks for your answers
Do you know if this type of CT was worn only by officer or eventually by NCO ?
This one was found with the pair of NCO flatwire bevo tabs discussed here :

Cuff Title

"Do you know if this type of CT was worn only by officer or eventually by NCO ?"

Certain officers' class insgnia (Collar Tabs w/o piping, Sleeve Eagles, and Cuff Titles) could be purchased for the walking out uniform by NCOs.

Nice cuff title by the way.

Strange from front and back, not my taste.

[Bob Hritz]

Original, in my opinion.

There isn't an example in the Beaver/Bando book to compare it to, the early hand-embroidered example is in Gothic script.

Looks sloppy made. Too lose embroided, so to say.

I really do not understand you who are sceptic about this cuff title. These cuff titles are hand embroidered and will vary. Also if the cuff has seen use "moisture, movements and wear" bullion can get a bit out of shape. (even if firm card board templates are used). There are several original cuffs in Latin bullion that looks worse. Some of them being Nordland.

This cut down cuff is IMO exactly what you would expect. It speaks. It looks as it should and I refer to the embroidery of the text. It is not too sloppy. Band material is original. Its not that this cuff title has to be defended, as it stands on it own, but why would a faker choose to use real band material and a cut down, do the embroidery like original and perhaps get USD X for it when one could save it as a full length and get USD 2X for it? (yeah real band material can be had from a cheap Allg numbered cuff)

Nah, come on guys, it looks just like it should to me. I would be happy to have this cuff in my collection.

No question in my mind that its a good one...

[Pieter Verbruggen]

Felix, because a used and well worn cuff will pass much easier as original as a full length mint one. Then it's much more difficult to produce a perfect embroidered band when you leave it in mint condition. If you look at the way the letters are formed, this has nothing to do with use or moisture, it's the way it's made. If this doesn't bother you, fine for me, and with all respect to your opinion, but not for me not even for free.

Der Fuhrer also came in this pattern.
