German WWII AFRIKA Korps DAK Cuff Title

Recommended Posts

I’ve come across a German WWII AFRIKA Korps DAK Cull Title and all the research I have done to this point has not given me answers. It is olive green except where is would be hit by the sun where is is camel. The embroidery is silver with the palm trees being a brighter silver the the word AFRIKA. I have taken a lot of photos but I am new to this sight. As it is not anywhere I could find in four hours on the internet I thought that weather is a great find or an old repro, it would be of interest to this group.

The last photo shows that anyone is permitted to use the photo of General Erwin Menny who was talking to Rommel at the time this was shot. I know it is not his but the palm trees seem brighter on his also. But I am an old Marine and I have been hit in the head a lot so I could be wrong.

Any help or input  would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

No idea mate! The Afrika with palms was a mass produced machine embroidered peice? Grey thread, not wire? Could be a private commisioned band for an officer? I am automaticialy sceptical of out of the norm items. I would go with your gut and think exotic 80s style copy where you could order all sorts of variations on the theme? Still, all part of the fun finding out. Sorry I am not of more use.
