12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend Cufftitle

[John4022]

Hi everyone, here's my latest addition to my collection, a 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend Cufftitle. Shes not in perfect shape (trimmed & glued into a scrapbook?) but hey shes an original example of a rare cufftitle so I'm still super thrilled to own it. I hope my pics do it justice and I hope everyone enjoys it!

Nice addition even if clipped, which is a pity. Any idea of where it was acquired? Veteran?

Thank you BlackCat, I got it from Hannahs Reich. Unfortunately a group from a LAH / HJ veteran is being split apart. I got in late and some of the items had already sold. If I had the money I would have bought the rest of the available items to keep them together. Here's a pic of the full group that was split apart. I saved copies of all the items so at least I can save the history. Martin from Hannahs Reich was kind enough to give me a copy of the painting of the soldier, when I have time I'm going to make some hard copies of all the other items.

Heres some info on the original owner: SS-Kanonier Willi ROHWEDDER who served in the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler and later was part of the experienced core of LAH troops used to for the 12 SS Panzer Division HITLERJUGEND.
