Armelband Afrika - Afrika cufftitle.
Hi gents,
I wasn't sure whether this should be in this section or with the awards as although it is technically a campaign service bestowal the came with a Besitzzeugnis it kind of falls between two stools being also uniform insignia.
Anyway, I just added this one and show it here for reference as a good example. I am totally happy as to originality but all comment / opinion is, as usual, most welcome.
Replacing the "Afrikakorps" unit designation cufftitle in Jan 1943 and awarded as acknowledgement of the relevant campaign service, this is the variant known as "Kamelhaar" or "Camelhair" because of the similarity of the material to the overcoat fabric of the same name.
It is 50cm long and shows very little sign of wear. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Regards
Mark
