Has anyone ever seen a "Canary yellow, black edges, cufftite, reading: "Deutsche Wehrmacht, MELDER" ??????
Not important anymore, but just curious, if i am the only one.

They were afterwards stamped with a unit stamp, which made them oficial.
Perhaps a new item for collectors to find ???

That's very interesting to know Haen. Was she doing that in accordance with an instruction/authorisation?
Ï really don't know, but keep in mind that a great number of private tailors also made uniform paraphernalia on officers uniforms when the need arose.
Especially towards the end of the war there were a lot of improvisations made, when existing stock was depleted or not accessible.
For example I received a "cufftitle" 'Landsturm Niederlande (note the GERMAN spelling), that obviously was not standard issue, "
When I brought it to my Commander's attention he said something like : "Who cares anymore?".
I think, there is a whole new field of collecting possible, just like misstamped coins. Oh well, only about 10 more years, and everything goes.

Not to open a new thread...
Are the pictures of kids wearing more than one cufftitle?
If so, it was with the same order as it was done in the army. Meaning the eldest will be at the top of the rest?
