NSDAP Armband Two Piece

Product Description: This NSDAP Armband Two Piece is a very appealing example of this popular armband style. It’s a textbook original, with a body made of a typical thin cotton fabric. The cotton retains deep, beautiful red color. The center of the front of the armband is adorned with a Bevo style, machine woven roundel, that features a very bold-looking Nazi swastika emblem woven in black thread on a white background. The roundel is neatly machine stitched to the armband using neat zig-zag machine stitching. This armband shows normal factory style machine stitching throughout, and the short ends are joined in the back with an expected French seam. There are a couple of black threads along one edge that appear to be remnants of stitching used to hold this armband in place on a uniform sleeve. This NSDAP Armband Two Piece is in nice, lightly worn condition, with light surface wear and dirt, but no holes, stains or other damage. This piece has a great look, and is in excellent condition.

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.
