Attractive, officers'-type SS (ie. 'Sicherheitsdienst- o. SD'-) related cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') as executed in flat-wire 'BeVo'-weave-pattern (in Latin-styled script) for an officer who served within the: 'Grenzpolizei'

This is an attractive - clearly tunic-removed and naturally 100% original! - SS- (ie. 'Sicherheitsdienst- o. SD'- ie. SS Border Security Police-) related, typical officers'-type cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen für Führer der SS o. SD') as was executed in the so-called: flat-wire 'BeVo'-weave-pattern (in Latin-styled script!) as was specifically intended for an officer who served within the: 'Grenzpolizei' and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem issued- and clearly worn ie. most certainly once tunic-attached-), condition. The just minimally shortened cuff-title (that measures now approx. 41 cms. in length) shows all details of an original, period-specimen. This armband was presumably produced by the 'Bandfabrik Ewald Vorsteher' (ie. 'BeVo') in Wuppertal but is void of the interwoven company-name on one of the ends as can be seen on the pictures (something that is more often but not always the case). This cuff-title is a 100% text-book- (and as stated above) original example that originates from a US-veteran who 'liberated' this piece in 1945. The piece shows some truly minimal staining and/or age (and is somewhat 'wrinkled') but was clearly used and somewhat shortened: one of its ends is still carefully folded and the piece still shows some (minimal) thread-remains: moreover, does one of its ends shows some damage in the silver-toned (and 7-strand) border (as can be seen on the pictures). The 'Grenzpolizei' was one of those obscure TR-organisations of which not that much is known to date: it is known, however, that this organisation was superceded in 1941 and had a short existence of about 3 years only. Simply a great opportunity to acquire a very attractive - and actually very scarcely encountered! - officers-pattern, flatwire 'BeVo'-type 'Grenzpolizei'-cuff-title for a competitive price: I have seen similar examples sell for the double of my asking-price!
