i don't know much about cuffs but isn't this crap?

[Kuifje69]

SS-Wachtruppe "Sachsen" at the Sachsenburg camp wore a Sleeveband with the title Sachsen.

If I take a look to book SS insigna of Angolia the style is different (page 204)

But I do not think this is Crap. If it is Crap than it is nice crap!

Let's wait for the experts.

Best regards,

It looks ok to me, even though pic is not the best!

Its probably my old eyes but I count 6 strands on the band edges. Much debate on this but it is a warning bell. some early Austrian repros are getting on to 40 years old and the trade mark was good quality but 6 strands. Maybe the owner will count the strands.

I would echo Mark's comment on the 6 strands. Also the width of each border "segment" seems a bit too long (see pic). Also no serifs on the small "s".

Also, were cloth tags on cuffbands ever sewn on all sides like that? I have only seen them with one end sewn into the cuffband end.

A bad one, I think.

Regards,

Fred

Thanks for the input gentlemen. Yes I count six strands across, so it could be a repo as Mark and Fred indicate. At least that clears that up!

Hello Robert, how do you see that the lable isn't ok? What are the characteristics of a good vs. a bad one?

The stiching process is for what I look, compare it to labels who are posted already on the forum and check out some good qualitiy collector books.
