**VERY RARE**Original**WW2 DAK Panzer Tank Troops North Africa Campaign Locally Theatre Made Deutsches Afrikakorps Cuff Title. Sn 23310:1 - 23310:1 The "Afrikakorps" cuff title was first officially authorized as a corps designation badge on July 18, 1941, for members of the DAK (Deutsches Afrikakorps) who served in North Africa. Before this date, and even after, some soldiers (particularly officers) had their own versions privately made. Early, locally produced cuff titles exhibit variations due to their manufacturing origin in North Africa (likely Tripoli) and Italy, where they were contracted out by local Arab or Italian manufacturers. These early and private purchase versions are distinct from the later "Afrika" campaign cuff title, a formal award instituted by Hitler in January 1943, which was of a standardized design for all three services. "Theatre-made" Afrika Korps cuff titles were unofficial, locally produced variations that pre-dated the official award or were privately commissioned by officers. These differ from the standard-issue titles in materials, colour and construction method. Today, these early theatre-made originals are very rare and highly sought after by collectors. This is an original, very rare, early Locally Theatre made, WW2 Afrika Korps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps) Panzer Troops cuff title. The black material and embroidered edge bands and gold stitching ‘AFRIKAKORPS’ are clean and intact. The price for this very rare DAK cuff title includes UK delivery. Sn 23310:1 (buckles & badges draw office) £745.00 |

I know this was on the tropical tunic which he brought back together with some other badges, a steel helmet and a cap. I also came across part of a letter he wrote together with a photo of him late in the war in Germany. I enclose this and should I come across anything else I will contact you.
