A good original title :thumbup1:

I always like the feel to the cloth on these.

Cheers, Ade.

I know Dave has seen mine before, but I will add it here for reference.

Cheers, Ade.

Very nice Afrika cuff, Ade! Of the two, I prefer this version over the 'Afrikakorps' cuff, but that's just me. Yours is a keeper for sure!

Hi Rob, thanks for the comments. This title came out of Poland in the early 1990's. There was a large bundle of these and Kreta titles discovered. The outer ones were very badly damaged, but the inners ones were nice. I have a "Kreta" but this is one from the outer layers and is poor. But it was cheap!

Of course, this one was an award, as opposed to a formation title like the "Afrikakorps" title. I don't think I have a favourite, as I just like cuff titles in general. They are some unique to the German Forces.

Cheers, Ade.
