NSDAP Armband Two Piece

Product Description: This NSDAP Armband Two Piece is a nice example of this style of armband, which was used by a range of Nazi organizations. The body of the armband is made from a red fabric, that retains strong original color. The center of the front of the armband is adorned with a Bevo style, machine woven roundel, with a Nazi swastika emblem woven in black thread on a white background. This roundel is neatly stitched to the armband with white zig-zag stitching. The armband shows typical factory style machine stitching throughout, and the short ends are joined together in the back, as this would have been worn. There is no RZM tag inside. This NSDAP Armband Two Piece shows light age and wear, with normal toning to the white roundel and a couple of light stains. There are also some small, scattered, pin-sized holes, and a short area of separation at the seam in the rear. This armband has an appealing 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.
