For comparison here is a real one I bought from a local veteran's estate last year.

...the one who made this was certainly not supervised by the SS...

Nutmeg, can I see the back of your cuff?

[nutmeg]

Actually it's the standard , item, a bit mishapen from being worn and pulled off a tunic and stored scrunched up at the bottom of a local vets footlocker for 50 years. .

nutmeg,
Nice cuff are the edges on yours rayon thread instead of aluminium?
cheers,
Gary

Gary,


It's the thread edging. It has remains of a paper label but only a fragment remains. One of the the few cufftitles I have gotten from a veteran in recent years.

definatly no good, the letters basicly touch top and bottom , and the lettering is a wee bit off, and too new aswell

Perfect!

Just when I wonder when I'll see a cufftitle off a tunic, one comes along. It's great to see one. Congrats on a nice item (the real one).
