NSDAP DRKB Members Armband Insignia – BeVo

Product Description: This German Veterans Kyffhäuserbund Armband Insignia represents the type of BeVo-woven emblem originally intended for use on the various armbands worn by members of the Kyffhäuserbund. This piece was cut out around the shield, but was never issued or applied, and it shows light edge fraying from long-term storage, exactly as photographed.

Overall, this German Veterans Kyffhäuserbund Armband Insignia remains an attractive and well-preserved example of veterans’ organization insignia. The colors remain strong, the details sharply defined, and the piece displays exceptionally well—making it a desirable addition for collectors of period German veteran association artifacts.

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.
