Great photo! Was that cuff title black? Looks like it was a different color.

Very nice I to would like to know if their are any in collections it's one I haven't seen.

Hello,

I can't remember whete I saw one being sold in a grouping that belonged to a Danish SS-volunteer, but it was the only time I have seen one.

Best regards,
Daniel

I know of a few in Danish Collection,had one myself,but sold it long
time ago
They looks like the KM cap tally by the way they was made.

the one on the Photo is not mine.

From a Warrelics forum post:

The Danish "Freikorps Danmark"-cuff-title was made by "Alfred Berg", in Buddinge, near Copenhagen in 1942.
It was ordered by Leutnant Nordholm from Freikorps Danmark, but the bill was never paid, so the case went to court in Denmark!

Of course the German produced RZM pattern replaced these flimsy ones...
Rare but quite a few surfaced from this trunk in a Danish attic about a decade ago! A time capsule find!

Ludwig, I believe this is the type of cuff title which Pehrsson wears on the photo taken with his daughter following Demjansk (Where he is Oscha. and stands next to a train!) - do you agree? :-)

[Ludwig]

That´s correct, Lasse!

[jotuntroll]

A rare cufftitle for sure, and a Norwegian version of "den Norske legion" (Freiwillige legion Norwegen) also exist and was replaced by the german rzm version.

Is the Nordland tunic showed above original and untouched?

[rob NL]

Great CT!
But that tunic in that photo is also a killer.

NickG, the phto was a set up made by a wellknown danish fantast/fraud, Uniform was a put together and cuffs were fakes...

[Ludwig]

Perhaps that explains why they do not look like the one that I saw last week...

Wow, really! It was even in the media at the time...Crazy stuff!
I guess that's good news for those who own such original cuff titles!
Thanks for the correction. Fooled me when I read about it...Even saved the image as it looked like such a spectacular find!
Too good to have been true!
