Ärmelband Kurland

[reichss]

Hi,

Would appreciate comment on this KURLAND cufftitle.

Apparently there remains a lot of controvesy re the Kurland cufftitle, I can only say this one is quite beautifully made.

Well made, but post war. Originals were not made like this but were machine woven. Many were also not full length either in order to save materials, so they would only cover the front part of the tunic cuff.

Cheers, Ade.

Ade is comeplely correct it's the well made that is the problem with this cuff title , they were made in theatre sometimes in difficult circumstances so in this case quality is not a positive point !! Looks like the myriad of examples that abound on flea bay !!

Here is a "textbook" original machine woven version.

Cheers, Ade.
