Step into the cockpit of history with our high-quality reproduction cuff title worn by officers from the German Luftwaffe's Jagdgeschwader 26 (JG 26) Schlageter fighter wing during World War II. This cuff title, meticulously crafted, pays tribute to the valor and skill of the officers who served in one of the most distinguished fighter wings of the Luftwaffe.

JG 26, also known as "Schlageter," earned its reputation in the crucible of battle, distinguishing itself in the intense dogfights over the skies of France and Britain.

The silver aluminum bullion thread embroidery on the blue backing captures the essence of the original regalia worn by JG 26 officers. As you run your fingers over the detailed stitching, you can feel the precision and dedication that went into recreating this piece of history.
Upgraded to the Fw 190 during Operation Overlord, JG 26 became the primary German fighter force. This cuff title serves as a visual tribute to the pivotal role played by JG 26 in some of the most critical and challenging aerial battles of World War II.
Whether displayed as part of a historical collection or worn by reenactors seeking authenticity, this reproduction cuff title allows enthusiasts to connect with the legacy of JG 26. It stands as a symbol of the bravery, skill, and resilience demonstrated by the officers who proudly wore similar regalia during their service in the Luftwaffe's elite Jagdgeschwader 26 Schlageter fighter wing.
