Stunning - and truly worn! - example of a WH (Heeres) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Grossdeutschland' (being a neatly hand-embroidered, 'standard-issue'-pattern example that was specifically intended for officers'-usage)

This is a truly very attractive - and actually not that often seen! - I deem almost full length (and most certainly once tunic-attached!) example of a WH (Heeres) cuff-title ie. armband (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') entitled: 'Grossdeutschland' being a neatly hand-embroidered 'standard-issue'-pattern example (of I deem the first pattern that was used throughout the war) that was specifically intended for officers'- (ie. evt. NCO-) usage (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen für Offiziere') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. most certainly issued- and/or clearly worn- ie. once-tunic-attached-), condition. The (I deem non-shortened) cuff-title measures approximately 44 cms. in length and comes as recently found. The cuff-title - which does show some moderate age, wear and/or staining - is executed onto black-coloured 'smooth-like' wool and shows the (very nicely!) hand-embroidered (ie. 'Schreibschrift'-styled-) text entitled: 'Grossdeutschland' as executed in silverish-coloured braid as to be expected: as such does it deal with a typical example of the first-pattern that was intended for commisioned-staff ie. being an: 'Ausführung für Offiziere'. Both ends were once carefully folded backwards as worn on the tunic and do now show some minimal fraying (as can be seen on the pictures). The band still shows some of its thread- ie. stitching-remains with which it was once tunic-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a very attractive and naturally 100% genuine, period example that really shows character and that is priced according to its obvious rarity and/or desirability!
