Cufftitles SS Der Führer & Götz von Berlichingen

[skalphunter]

I would like to hear your opinion about those cufftitles. IMO they are bogus.
They where on a medalpillow for a soldier who was buried in 1984 and sewn on that pillow.

Hi,

you are correct, they are very very bad. The "Götz von Berlichingen" exist only in "BeVo" by the way.
Those were probably bought by the veteran after the war.

I don't think those are "HIAG" I think they are just poorly made fakes.

Completely agree.

Be they "genuine" repros or veterans' keepsakes, both cuff titles are poor quality fakes. Repro SS cufftitles were pretty common and easily available by 1984.
The GvB one, AFAIK, was issued late in the war when machine-embroidered cufftitles were no longer manufactured. If not only for this, the fonts are completely wrong and this alone is sufficient.
Embroidery and the ribbon itself of the DF cufftitle are not period as well.
