Distinctive German WWII cuff title reading “AFRIKAKORPS” in silver-gray thread on a dark green/black woven band, bordered by tan cloth backing and flanked by narrow silver edge stripes. Machine-woven construction consistent with mid-war production examples. Instituted in 1943, this cuff title was awarded to members of the Deutsches Afrikakorps and later Axis forces serving in the North African campaign under Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel. The piece reflects standard enlisted issue construction, designed for wear on the lower left sleeve of the field uniform.
