Need Opinions on AFRIKAKORPS Cuff Title Please

**ETF** · 02-05-2013, 12:12 PM

I am fairly new to collecting cloth items of the Third Reich and would appreciate opinons on the AFRIKAKORPS Cuff Title. It looks good to me but I would appreciate the experts opinions since these are so widely reproduced.

Is it period and is it authentic?

Thanks in advance.

Added Photo

Two Additional Photos Added. I only have these photos from the seller. I haven't purchased the cuff title as of yet so I don't have the item and can't take additional photos. I've been working on getting these photos to a better view with a photo shop type program.

Thanks again for all the feedback so far.

Hello

Perhaps this thread can be of help until someone can help you. I myself know nothing about cuff titles, but I know that you will find many good threads if you do a search. Good luck.

I can't tell. I can only give advice on the later "Afrika" variant from 1943. If i am correct this should be the 1941 variant. I am sure the guys need better pics

However, while waiting you could try and search our forum forum for good and bad cuff titles and get some experience while doing so

No sarcasm meant friend.

No expert by far but from the rear that looks good to me, but it looks like the A and F merge, need a better photo of that area.

Thanks all for the responses up to this point. I added another photo to the original group. It's a closer shot of the Aand F. You can also enlarge the photo by clicking on it.

Thanks,

I think it's a good one but please wait for a more experienced member.

Try and go to "Little Mermaids" link. There you will see the kind of pics needed to give an opinion.

I think I have seen these photos before, at least the item seems familiar to me. But I guess many people have that kind of woolly blanket in the background.
