Heer Afrika Korps cuff titles

[Tony]

Hello,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the dodgy cuff titles have the same sized voids in the lettering e.g. R and P.

What about this one? Looking closely the voids do have different sizes but only slightly. I'd like to hear what you think.

Thanks

Tony

I think the center of the O is a key indicator. I had one just like it, it was repo. There is info out there on this subject.

Originals have a space between the 'A' & 'F' and, as you indicate, different sized 'voids' in the letters you've mentioned.

Have a look at the back... If the void in the 'O' is diamond shaped, it's a repro.

This one I have always been sure is OK and is good for comparison.

Whats the approx value of these?

?80.00 wouldn't be far off the mark..

Bummer!

Well that's one well known German dealer from Hamburg to be wary of (wasn't DN). I paid 30 Marks for that in 1987. Back then a packet of smokes from the naafi were only 2.20 Marks.
