The AfrikaKorps Cuff Title

[DAK D]

Here are some original variant AfrikaKorps cuff titles.

1/ This is the standard version, notice how the R and P central parts are different sizes.

2/ Reverse of the standard version.

3/ This is an original variation of the standard version, but the R and P central areas are the same size

4/ This photo shows the reverse of of the variation Afrikakorps cuff title.

5/ This is the later version with tan boarders and it is thought that this version was not issued to soldiers in North Africa.

6/ Reverse of the tan version.

7/ This is one version of the rare black Afrikakorps cuff title that was probably locally made before the standard version was issued to German soldiers in North Africa.
