re: Ärmelband Kurland
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.

re: Ärmelband Kurland
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 !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
