Description
Grouping to Wilhelm Welgenbach containing a rare black Kriegsmarine AFRIKA cuffband.
 
Black ripped silk cufftitle with hand-stiched wire letters and gold wire bordering. Worn. Full sleeve size. Only a handful of really small holes caused from probably pinning it on a board.
Length: 37,5cm
 
11 original photographs of Welgenbach. Three show him wearing the AFRIKA cuffband. I don't think it is exactly the same as the one part of this grouping but it is very likely he had a second one to another uniform.
 
Further period time documents as well as his original aluminum dog tag with cord and lucky charm.
