    I'm looking to buy an afrikakorps cuff title and have my eye one following two;

    Can anyone confirm whether they are original or not, these cuff titles are faked so many times it has become tricky to spot.

    From the pictures both appear to be originals with the second looking to have been uniform removed, IMO.

    We are not in the business of confirming the reality of your choices. Individual members may weigh in, but the forum does not condone valuation or originality.
