SS Adolf Hitler cuff title - original or fake?

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I know nothing about SS cuff titles but always hoped I would come across one. I found this one in an auction lot - the lot consisted of original mixed with fake items. What excites me about this is that holding it up to the light there is a clear line of stitch holes along the top and bottom and across one end, looking like it was attached to a uniform. Also comparing to similar ones posted here - it does look promising (at least to me). No label, but it is stamped 'P' on the reverse. I would be very grateful for opinions. It worked out at about £15 cost, considering the price paid and number of items in the lot, so I am kinda hoping it might have been a sleeper.

Many thanks for looking and for all comments,

Cheers, Guy

I like the weave of the cufftitle even though the embroidery
looks a little odd. I think this might stand a chance

Apologises to Guy ...
I seriously believed that the weave of the CT could have been okay
Even with 6 strands but it seems that I was wrong !
But having said that the Adolf Hitler is right

Original ??

All original cuffs have 7 outline silver stitchings....;-)

This is not accurate, some original bands have 6 and even 5 strands.

The band material looks good.

The machine embroidering looks good.

So what if it has six strand edging?

For those who claim this CT is a reproduction, how about some evidence?

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I believe it is an original.

Not for my collection.......
IMHO a repro embroidering on an original band
