HJ Armband RZM Tag

Product Description: This HJ Armband RZM Tag is a really nice, clean example of this very popular Third Reich armband. This one is high quality, three piece construction, with a multi-part Hitler Youth diamond swastika emblem made of ribbed fabric, machine stitched to a Bevo machine woven red and white band. Inside, this attractive armband is complete with its original RZM paper tag. The tag features the round logo of the Reichszeugmeisterei, the diamond-shaped organizational logo of the Hitlerjugend, and a correct “B” tax code, all printed in red ink. The tag is complete, and virtually pristine, with no damage, and is stamped with the maker code A4/142. The condition of this HJ armband RZM tag is excellent. There is only very minor age discoloration to note, as well as a small separation near the bottom edge, below the swastika. The colors are still very bright, and this desirable armband looks great on display.

Historical Description: Nearly every military, civil, political and paramilitary organization in existence during the Third Reich used armbands. Armbands were worn on military and civilian uniforms and also on civilian clothes, from suit jackets to work clothing. They were used to denote membership in organizations, to indicate a specific role or function of the bearer, and as insignia of rank. Many organizations would change the design of their armbands over time, which added to the variety produced. These were manufactured in countless variations, ranging from simple printed bands to elaborately hand-embroidered pieces of the highest quality. Some Nazi armbands were worn by all members of large organizations and were made by the millions. Others were intended for use at a specific time and place and were unique. Many types were made in very limited numbers. Some bore metal insignia or special identifiers that indicated the wearer’s rank, unit affiliation, or nationality. Armbands were sometimes but not always marked with ink stamps by the issuing authorities.
