Amazing example of an Original WWII Afrika Cuff Title in near mint condition.The Afrika cuff title was a second World War II German military decoration awarded to members of the Wehrmacht who took part in the North African Campaign of 1941-43. On 15 January 1943, the Africa cuff title was instituted by Adolf Hitler as a formal campaign decoration. The design was the same for all three-armed services, although both the Luftwaffe and Kriegmarine later introduced their own designs. The photos of the general wearing a similar cuff band beside Field -Marshall Erwin Rommel does not come with the sale of the cuff band and is for reference to the item only. You would find it very Hard to upgrade on this example.
