This is an original German WWII Heer Army \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e military police cuff title in BeVo woven construction, showing clear evidence of period wear and previous uniform attachment. It measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e14\" x 1 5\/16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and is woven in the correct brown ground with silver gray Gothic script \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e lettering flanked by woven silver lines extending the full length of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuff title is not sewn together at the rear and retains stitch marks from previous installation on a uniform. The edges and ends show wear and fraying, while the woven face has staining and general service use consistent with long wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse retains deteriorated adhesive residue at both ends from an older display mounting. The adhesive appears to have penetrated into the weave, and no attempt has been made to remove it because doing so could damage the original fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e served as the military police of the German Wehrmacht, carrying out duties that included traffic control, rear area security, troop movement regulation, enforcement of military discipline, and the apprehension of deserters and looters. Personnel were widely recognized by the distinctive metal gorget worn on duty, which led to the colloquial nickname \u003cem\u003eKettenhunde\u003c\/em\u003e, or “chain dogs.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeVo woven cuff titles were machine produced and allowed detailed lettering and border elements to be incorporated directly into the fabric. This example retains the characteristic brown ground, silver gray Gothic script, and flanking silver lines associated with Heer \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e insignia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall condition is good and clearly service worn, with staining, edge and end fraying, old stitch marks, and deteriorated display adhesive on the reverse. Despite this wear, the woven inscription remains clearly legible and the cuff title retains strong period character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its BeVo woven construction, brown \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e ground color, silver gray Gothic lettering, surviving uniform stitch marks, and honest service wear, this is a strong Heer military police cuff title. The staining, fraying, edge wear, and reverse adhesive residue are all fully disclosed. It would display especially well in a Heer \u003cem\u003eFeldgendarmerie\u003c\/em\u003e, German military police, BeVo insignia, service worn uniform, or advanced German WWII cloth insignia collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45603391701061,"sku":"ONSV26EMC094","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/03FBCA07-D473-4B1B-9636-2D35CA936977.jpg?v=1787767465","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-heer-army-feldgendarmerie-military-police-bevo-woven-cuff-title-service-used","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
