9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen" cuff title

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, a favourite item from my collection.

One of my big interests is the Battle of Arnhem, in which this division fought.

This title is cut down and bloodstained.....

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade

A wonderful cufftitle.

Here is the one I have and one I was certainly lucky to find.

Mine has some strange staining on it, but I think mine is rust rather than blood!

Wonderful examples of a fairly difficult cufftitle to track down and acquire, guys.

Very nice!

Super items!! digging again and found more gold!!!

Yes, very nice cuff titles indeed. The blood stains, although quite chilling, add character to the piece in my opinion. The shots show the construction well too. Thanks for sharing them Ade (you too Raymond).

Regards,

Carl

Thanks Guys.

It is worth noticing the position of the "crossbar" which forms the letter "H". See how it is positioned higher than centre? Fakes will have the crossbar in the conventional postion ie in the middle.

There are also two other versions of this cuff title available. Bob H has showed them on the forum.

Cheers, Ade.
