NS Soldatenbund "Ost" (Staff) Cuff Title

Description

This is a NS Soldatenbund "Ost" (Staff) Cuff Title (NS Soldatenbund Armelband "Ost" fur Mitarbeiter und Mitglieder der Beratergruppen). This is a machine woven "Ost" cuff title in on a dark blue/black background with crossed swords to either side of the script for former officers in WWI. It is bordered on both the top and button in silver flat-wire threads. The cuff title is full length and uncut measuring 1.25" (32 mm) x 15.75" (40 cm), the ends sewn together on the reverse, extremely fine. I purchased it in 2003 from a dealer in Hamburg, Germany.
NOTE: There were three levels to the cuff title rank structure. Cuff titles with gold threads for leaders, silver/aluminum flat-wire for staff and members of the advisory groups, and finally silver/gray threads for association members of general members.
